12/9/18- Club canceled due to 8-12" of snow in the area
(December 2, 2018) Who’s In? 10 Scrabblers were in Stephens-Lee Rec Center this Sunday!
D finished her afternoon with a big 433 win, and played TRILLERS and FIDGETS. Trish was 2-3 and had the highest play of the day with RISKIER for 107! Jacob was also 2-3 today with 10 bingoes among which were the interesting words ANTIPODE and CITEABLE. You would think Jacob’s 517 win would be the high score of the day. Ruchi was 3-2, and played 4 bingoes. A couple of other players are saving their wins for next week!
Cal won half his games today, found the nice bingo SAUNTER, and we will miss him while he is teaching in Wisconsin next semester. Jay only lost once today, finding DETAINS and CAPITOLS. Mark was 4-1 and his 524 WAS the high score of the day, a game that no doubt included several of his 11 bingoes. Among those 11 were interesting words like ALIUNDE (is that English?) and FORESTAL, a nice adjective that takes a rear hook! Aaron was 5-1 with 12 bingoes, and that one loss was a 418 high loss of the day. Those bingoes included the highest probability new seven letter word GOATIER but he got the most points for SEASIDE (85.)
Tip of the week: don’t try a fake punt when it’s fourth down and 11 yards to go. Roll Tide and see you next week.
