As an aside, just won the best game of Scrabble ever. - Personal score of 462, but more importantly finished with a 7 letter word on a triple word score - 'Remigrate' (incorporating the 'at' already on the board).

Thanks for listening.

Is that score real? If so, I can say as an avid Scrabble player myself, that that is quite a score, and the finish deserves recognition.

When I win my wife gently talks about lucky draws on the letters which kind of sucks out the joy of victory. I trust you were not in the same predicament.

Thanks. Yes, genuine score. My wife and I's combined score is usually around 700. We both have got close to 500 points, but as yet it remains tantalisingly out of reach. (A more impressive feat for her of course, seeing as English is her second language). - Getting high value letters is always nice, and there is obviously a big dollop of luck in the tiles you pull out of the bag, but I'm just as pleased when I get a G, as having an 'ing' always makes a 7 letter word more likely. (And there are only 3 G's in the bag). The trick is also to maximise the triple letter scores with a word in both directions to get the value twice (and to know your Xi's, Qi's, Jo and Ja's, Zo, Ze, and Za's).

And of course there are the tactical rubbish words one uses just to reduce the chances for opponents to get those hot triple word places πŸ™‚
