According to Craig Rowland, Scrabble in North America recognizes five words which, if spelled over two triple-word score squares, and with a premium-scoring tile on the double-letter score square, will award the player 392 points on a single play. These five words are: OXAZEPAM, BEZIQUES, CAZIQUES, MEZQUITS, and MEZQUITE.
John Chew says that OXYPHENBUTAZONE is the highest-scoring word known under American tournament Scrabble rules (OSPD+MWCD). It can score 1778 under suitably contrived circumstances listed and credited in the Scrabble FAQ. The highest-scoring opening plays are MUZJIKS (128) in OSPD and QUARTZY (126) or SQUEEZY (126) in OSW.

Bruce D. Wilner says if we include eight-letter "bingos" that use all seven letters on one's rack plus a letter already on the board, then WHIZBANG, QUETZALS, and HIGHJACK score an incredible 374 points for a single play if the highest-point tile is on a light blue square and both the first and last letters are on red squares. QUIXOTIC and MUSQUASH are right behind, scoring 356 and 338, respectively.

55 for that, not bad.

also you scored 120, not 119.

[/ QUOTE ]

Nope, it was 119.

KA is 18. AZURITE is 48. AT and NE are 2 each. That makes 18+48+4+50 = 120.

KA is 18. AZURITE is 51. AT and NE aren't even there yet. That makes 18+51+0+50 = 119.

[/ QUOTE ]
Yes, I use Sowpods. Im just learning (e.g been on the site 2 days) at the moment but kinda addicted. However, it wont let me on now because something about a port restricting the access, but, have emailed them about it.


Also, how bad ettiquite is it to resign when you know you can;t win?
