I think it was you? I could be wrong, but one night I pondered if a whole game could be played without hitting a premium square? I did it:

AND it archived, tho the total didn't break 350, let alone 500: http://archive.snoot.org/scribble/09.04/26.01.13.33-328.html
The game started with the letter "I" so that the least possible tiles would be effected by the DWS. The game wasn't quite "perfect" - I miscounted and one other letter hit a DLS.
It was a fun change-of-pace, and I might try it again, perhaps setting up the E & K rows or 5 & 11 columns for longer words. |
