I will make a long word on a board that is jammed up in the middle. Or has had its triples blocked, or the word will lead to a triple or triple set-up. Remember a seven letter word is worth a 25 pt. bonus. 8 letter is 50.
I use the "the good letters" when I can make a high score with them. Also when we have a more than 1 or 2 of them on the rack. The Q anytime "whats her name" is around.
My goal is 8 letter words using two triple word scores. It is easiest done with set ups that will take an S, which is why we don't want to see the S's used without good reason.
This is just how I try to play. These are NOT rules. I have no right to make any rules for anyone but myself.
And do remember it is just a game. You can make mistakes, make plays cause they are irresistable, or for any other reason if you so desire. Have fun! |
