Brag: 119 point Scrabble turn.
I just started getting into Scrabble sorta seriously, about 2 months ago.
This game we already had 51 tiles out of the bag, and no "A" had been played. My opponent played a K, right next to the triple word score and I was dying to pick up an A to play something there (KA is the only two letter word starting with a K). I had ZURE on my rack, waiting for the elusive A for KA/AZURE. I replaced 3 tiles when I didn't have much to go on, but still no A. Then I played TIN/HENT and my 3 new tiles with AIT. I got excited and saw that I could play AZURE, when I quickly realized AZURITE was probably a word too. He played something that nobody cares about, leaving my KA/AZURITE 119 point bingo open. SHIP IT. I won 395-314 |

Re: Brag: 119 point Scrabble turn.
what was your rack when you swapped 3? Your optimal play was prob to play off the Z there and then - playing AZURITE for 119 is sound tho with a Q in the bag still leaving the triple is likely to cost you. You play online at all? I'll give you a game if you fancy. i play at scrabulous

Initially I just wanted A for something, then after the swap I wanted A for AZURE. I also play on Scrabulous (the picture is of a Scrabulous board). |
