Transcendental Scrabble - game highlights
Here are the highlights from the five Scrabble games played last
night,

the American Heritage dictionary and do not allow phony words.
Still,
we make longer words and score more points than you. Our finished
boards are works of art.

PROCREATE
UNCLOUDED
8-letter:
AERATION
COTTAGES
CRUDDIER
GRUELING
OPENINGS
OUTGAZES
TRUNDLES
WRAPPING
7-letter:
ACCRUED
BAGGERS
BANTERS
BAWLING
BROMINE
EBONIES
EQUATED
GREETED
GROCERY
HOAGIES
STORIED
TONNAGE
6-letter:
ABLAZE
ACTION
AMOUNT
BEAUTS
BOILED
DOCKED
ENJOYS
FAERIE
FLEECE
GIFTED
HINGES
NOBLER
NUDIST
RATIOS

Selected 4-letter words:

TIKI
UREA
YIPE
Just these 2-letter words:
AI AX BE DO EF EH EL EM EN ER EX GO HA ID IT NO OF ON OW OX PA PI
SO WE XI YE YO
We scored 25.7 points per turn as a club. There were four 100+ point
plays. In one game the total score was 909 points - and it had only
five(!)
power tiles - X Z Z S S.
You, too, can set your Scrabble board ablaze with REAL WORDS,
found in a REAL DICTIONARY, and used by REAL PEOPLE:

I don't mind that you post these lists, but I suspect some newsreaders
may see the long lists of unusual words and automatically tag it as
spam  |

Unusual? UNUSUAL??? Them words came out of our working
vocabularies!
(except aquae.) You should see the craziness on a tournament Scrabble
board!

Ahh, the risks one takes trying to spread a little
happiness . . . :-)

HOAGIES is good because it's allowed by our agreed-upon word
authority, the American Heritage 4th Edition. But I did learn
the word in my college years in Philadelphia - not that a
hoagie seller could understand what I was asking for with
my absolutely pure, Baltimore long O. Anybody know why
Americans pronounce long Os so gutturally, ending with
an L sound (olnly, holme, colke, etc.)?
