Challenge Corner discussion

All of our books in the bank will get posted, so I'm just grabbing the first ones I see that don't also fit for an uncommon letter.

Do we have a next word to post for so we can get more letters and start clearing the bank?

Yes
Flickers
I1-I8

Gets rid of our letters and hopefully we get better letters and a u to go with our q.

🤞🏻

🎉🎸💃🏽🌶️added another book to the bank, has a variety of letters... there is a Q if we can use series names..

I added books for Q,V and G. Gideon the Ninth also fits B (last letter of series name Locked Tomb) so it can be changed if needed.

We can play barfi on the triple word score for 30 points and the new letters may give us something to go with the q.

f1-j1

That's a cool word and one of my favourite sweets!

Quota on B2-F2 gives us a decent score. I can't find a better spot for the Q yet.

Quota is a good word!

B2 is a double word score!

No vowels.. that sucks.

Hangry will give us 26 points
Knarry will give us 26 points
Cranky will give us 30 points
turbary will give us 32 points--c1-c7

just an fyi to my teammates and to Saige... I posted a book that I just finished in the bank section, but for some reason, when I copy my review link, it's not working, so I can't paste it into the slot. Hopefully, when I try again at another time, it will work.

Turbary looks good Laura- sorry must admit scrabble is actually not something I excel at.

i think i got it for you..... should be there <3

I'm the same Megan. I'm fine to defer to Laura and let you pick and post the words.

I 've played a fair bit with mom. Of course she usually wins. I am happy to figure out our words and happy to have input

Thank you much, PrinZessBookDragon!

Totally agree. Laura, thanks so much for the great word suggestions.

vog- 25 points g3-g5
coven-20 pts- i4-m4
wove- 19 pts- a9-e9

After we play vog we should play wove or something similiar in that spot a9-e9 to open up the triple word score then those new letters can help open up the right hand side of the board.

Ur brilliant at this Laura!! I am grateful for ur scrabble talents!

Oddly enough, it's still not copying n pasting my reviews how it always did. I was able to post my review for the book I just banked, but the link looks different. I clicked on it, and it took me to my review in goodreads, so I guess all is good. So don't be alarmed if my banked book reviews look different.

Clicking copy link is not working for me either.

Seconding this!

Laura, I finished Juniper Hill. Let me know when you want to read the next one.

Perfect
I answered in the buddy thread

Webcast down to the triple gives us 51 points if I totalled it correctly
Don't like to use the s that way but 51 pts is a great total

A9-A15

Ivelisse
Karen and I are starting book three of the Eden series

We can play Sneezy for 52 points
S is already there so we can save ours
A14-f14

We're starting book #2 of the lucky ranch series on Wednesday if anybody fancied joining us?

Friz gives us more points then using the triple word score🙄

32 points
E11-E14

chukka-38 points
graph- 30 points
ark-26 points

chukka still gives us more points then the triple word score.. and then opens up another one:-)

O4-O9

You're really good at thinking up the best words!

Thank you Priya. I do like how Saige has set the rules up for this game. If we were actually playing an opponent strategy would be much different!!

I'm glad you like it this way! I did consider trying to set this up as teams playing against each other, or each team playing against a bot or me or something, but the mechanics of that just got too complex. Maybe for a later challenge!

should i be posting my books in the review thread or do i only post there if you all are going to use a letter...

Easier to put them in the banked books tab and then they be used for one of the letters

I posted one of your books and tried to post another (Ruthless Creatures ) but it won't let me post your review. Your profile is set to private. Can you post your review in the review thread and just reference the post 108 so Saige will only count our points once.
