Bingo! X 2

Are there any Scrabble players in the audience? I thought so. So I assume you know what a bingo is in terms of Scrabble. For those of you that don't, it is using all 7 tiles in a given turn. The reward is an additional 50 point bonus.

In a recent game, I not only scored a bingo (a rare enough occasion in itself), I scored two bingos BACK TO BACK on the second and third turns. It's pretty much the highlight of my scrabble career. INGRATE and TOSSING were my words, both pretty low scorers aside from the bonus. But still. Then on the fourth turn, I was one letter away from a 3rd consecutive bingo, but alas.

What's your highest scoring scrabble play ever?

Looooooong time ago, my crowning achievement was 'vacuumed'; not only a bingo, but on a double word score. Sadly, I think that was the last bingo I ever had.

163, but then I learned we weren't scoring correctly. But still . . .

Congrats! I grew up playing Scrabble on camping trips with my parents, though I'm unable to commit my scores/plays to memory. I've been playing Lexulous on Facebook, but it's pretty lame in that it doesn't allow many legitimate words, while at the same time allows ridiculous words that wouldn't be tolerated in a real game of Scrabble.

Juline, if you like playing mediocre word games with frustrating acceptable words, you should try some of my word games on the games page!
