That number is the simply unbelievable score of the newest first-place Scribble game:
http://archive.snoot.org/scribble/04.05/24.01.58.49-1846.html
It almost goes without saying, but the game had all four premiums on the DLS squares -- it's virtually a must to do so in order to score over 1800. Interestingly, the longest trip was only 9 letters, not the usual 10 (or 12 occasionally).
The tile order was decent enough with regards to the trips -- the premiums were relatively evenly spaced out, with the small exception that the J and Z were on the rack simulatenously at one point. But everything worked out. I think the reason this game scored so high is because the tile order was simply fantastic after playing the 3rd trip, while waiting for the final trip word to appear. A whole bunch of 4-point tiles showed along with some vowels, to make for comparatively high-scoring "two-way" set-ups. Usually what happens while waiting for a large word is that you can only play one tile at a time, thus making a two-way set-up impossible and missing out on a large number of points. That wasn't the case with this game. Also, as far as I can tell, there wasn't a single sub-optimal play made during the entire game, which always helps. ;-)
Anyway, I say this every time a new "best game ever" is played, but I think it's going to be nearly impossible to beat this score, let alone even approach it. I've been (eventually) proven wrong on that assertion every single time in the past, but this game is four points shy of 1850 for pete's sake!! :-)
See ya on the boards! :-)

Lemurs, once believed to be cute but basically stupid, show startling intelligence when given a chance to win treats by playing a computer game, U.S. researchers reported on Wednesday.

| Why use just 'a,' 'i,' or 'tv'? |

I've seen 'a,' 'i', 'and 'tv' used a number of times over the last few days and this use makes no sense to me. These are usually used toward the start of a game, the points are low (no kidding) and there are other possibilities for words with the given letters, so I don't see why anyone would place just these -- it certainly doesn't help with changing the tiles!
I admit I may be missing something, so I'm asking: can someone explain why they would place 'a', 'i', or 'tv' on the board at the start of a game?
Thanks! |

Is there a unique dictionary that I don't know about? I have seen some pretty wild so-called words since coming here a week ago.
Looking at dictionary.com my search for the following came up a little short:
indicias, outfasts, snoozles, zincy, rax, etc., etc. It amazes me the "words" or lack there of that this site accepts.
Whatever happened to REAL Scrabble where you were only able to use real words....no names, abbreviations, acronyms, etc., etc.
It's not much fun when you know you can throw everything in including the kitchen sink & it be accepted. Where's the challenge in that??? |
