Challenge Corner discussion

We could do the following,

JAMMER, J15-O15 = 60 pts

JABBER, J15-O15 = 60 pts

HAMMER, J15-O15 = 48 pts

MAMZER, J15-O15 = 63 pts

Look at the points on those!!

I say go with whatever makes sense on the board.

I think MAMZER would make the most sense. It would be easier to build off of M to get a word for the triple letter scores than it would be for J.

HAMMER would be good too.. but a lot less points.

Let's go with MAMZER then :)

Okay. Do you want to post for it? I’m about to eat some dinner 😁

I didn't see this!! I got sucked into my book lol

We could post for JIBBAH, F14-K14 ? We'd get three words out of that. JIBBAH, AM, & HA.

I think we will get around 47ish points

lets do it!

okay, done!

We could do the following:

FAR/FAT/RAG/RAT/AFT/ARC/ART, H1-J1
BABU, A4-D4
CRURA, A11-E11
GUAC, A13-D13
AFRIT/ATTIC/AURIC/CURIA/FRUIT/TACIT/TRAIT, A12-E12
TABU/TUBA, H12-H15
FA, G15-H15
FUD/FAD/CUD/CAD/RAD, B10-D10

Which do you think is the best placement?

Would AFRIT/ATTIC/AURIC/CURIA/FRUIT/TACIT/TRAIT, A12-E12 be best?

Although, when I look at all of them, they all look ok, lol

Sure, should we go with Fruit? That way the F is on the double letter score..

Yeah, let's do that. I can post it. :)

We could do the following:

CORGI, B10-B14

FICO/FILO/FLIC/FLIR/FLOC/FLOG/FOCI/FOIL/FRIG/FROG, A13-A15

FOG/FOR/FRO/ORC/ORG/ROC, H1-J1

Or does anyone else think we could do a better word somewhere else? I'm open to ideas!

I say let's go with CORGI.

I hate that I'm zero help on placement. Scrabble is a game I suck at and avoid playing because of how bad I am. But reading books, I can do lol

That's me with chess lol. Okay, I'll go with CORGI

We could do JUBA - H12-H15? I think thats around 60ish points

Let's do it!

Okay, posted!

We could do:

ERR + EH + RE + RE, G1-I1
RAMAL or TAMAL, F4-F8

I'm open to any other ideas too

So would doing RAMAL or TAMAL be better in the sense that it would be harder to spell there later depending on letters?

I mean, at what point do we end up having to get a new board, lol.

lol right? Okay, so R or T? We have three of each...

hmm...let's go with R lol.

I'll go ahead and post it since I'm on :)

You two know what you're doing. I just read! lol

Alaina knows what she's doing. I'm just trying to act like I do!! LOL

Hi teams! I've gotten some questions/seen some confusion in chats about when we get new boards, so let me clarify:

The challenge doesn't work quite like real Scrabble because of the larger letter tray and the lack of an opponent. Basically we'll be in this round on this board until your team feels that you're out of moves. When there comes a time that you think you can't play any more words on the board with the letters you have, then you can request a clean board. But keep in mind that on a new board you'll be a lot further from all the triple score tiles, so it might be to your advantage to play lots of small words on this board before moving to a new one. To request a new board, please just send a message on the review thread!

TAV+TE+AE, H1-J1
BABE/BABU, A4-D4
HEAR+RAW, G2-G5
QUA+QI+AB, G13-I13

I think I'll post for QUA+QI+AB, G13-I13. That way we can get new letters and 30ish points.

perfect! I meant to look at this yesterday, but I stayed offline for most of the day and didn't see your post.

LOL it's all good. I'm just now remembering we need to post a word

New letters: Y & I

We could do the following:

RYE/PYE/RYU, H1-J1?
RUMMY/TUMMY, J3-N3?

hmm....I was going to say the first one, but would the RUMMY/TUMMY be better??

Points-wise, PYE would be better. Either way, we get 3 new letters.

Ok, lets go for that then! Do you want me to post it?

I went ahead and posted for PYE :)

LOL sorry, was doing scores for the monthly. Just saw this!

I figured we wouldn't both post it while you were doing the scores so I just went ahead lol

good plan lol

Wow team. I'm sorry I bailed the last couple of weeks. I was away camping with family. But I should be back and ready to help post and read now!

Thanks for all the effort from everyone!
