When I heard Erica was a keen Scrabble player and Crossword buff, I thought we might have a competitive game today.

When they say they are "Scrabble players", believe me, 90% of them *ain't* Scrabble playersSteven M. McCann wrote:When I heard Erica was a keen Scrabble player and Crossword buff, I thought we might have a competitive game today.

That was one of those "there's obviously a nine, but I can't see it" rounds for me.Zarte Siempre wrote:ALONGSIDE in... one of the rounds.

I used to have this problem until I realised that I was a fucking idiot and as a loose rule, I now just settle for 7 unless there's an obvious 8, cos I know I'll never see the nine. It sounds counter-productive (and would be for a good player) but for us normos, I find I score more doing this in the long term.Rhys Benjamin wrote:That was one of those "there's obviously a nine, but I can't see it" rounds for me.Zarte Siempre wrote:ALONGSIDE in... one of the rounds.

Alt 2nd numbers (25+9+10-6)x9 = 342
For an old fashioned alt to HANGRIEST there is INGATHERS of course.
Lots of other alts about such as CAPRINE to CARBINE, ROMAINES to ROMANISE, LIFEBOAT to FIREBOAT.

Me too, I was worrying. But I think I had a fairly tough run overall, this was the only one I felt secure about.Steven M. McCann wrote:When I heard Erica was a keen Scrabble player and Crossword buff, I thought we might have a competitive game today.
I got ALONGSIDE after the round was over. I should have got the numbers too, and I would get INGATHERS if I played now. Yesterday was my best game so far I think.
Also: HANGRIEST is a word but GIRLIEST isn't? Srsly? Hangry is an absolute meme word, shouldn't be in the dictionary.

I think they put in BS words that no-one actually uses for the publicity and they ignore ones in common use. AWESOMESAUCE v LAGGY for example.JJ Smith wrote:Also: HANGRIEST is a word but GIRLIEST isn't? Srsly? Hangry is an absolute meme word, shouldn't be in the dictionary.
