Been bad about posting Scrabble scores lately, mostly because I've been so busy at work I haven't been checking LJ much.
Last week's Scrabble:
I played one game with Kari and Liam, while Christine, Kristina, and Jean played on the other board.
My words:
17 points - WE/BET/IT (a full sentence!)
27 points - AXEL
18 points - JO/OX
28 points - MAZ(E)
16 points - WOO/BO
26 points - TUNDRA/A(S)
14 points - NAILED
32 points - HEATS
08 points - SO/OR
-6 points to whoever went out first, for a final score of 180. Liam beat me with a 191, and Kari came in third with 150. In the other game, Christine rocked out with a 210, beating Kristina with a 190 and Jean with a 174.
At some point in this game, my tiles formed the phrase SOLAR UH, which I thought might make an interesting band name. I also wanted to note that QUEAN is an excellent Scrabble word. It means: a harlot. So it also reminds me of Jill!
This week's Scrabble:
Just Jean and I this week. Kari and Christine couldn't make it, Liam wasn't in, and Kristina was on a business trip.
My words:
14 points - STO(R)Y
20 points - XI/SI
16 points - ARE/AN/RE/EW
09 points - SEDGE (a word I learned from a Yeats poem. Jean hadn't heard it before, but was delighted to see it in today's crossword puzzle! It means: marsh grass.)
15 points - URN/XU/SIR
38 points - AVOW/HAJI
13 points - QI
21 points - MINT
23 points - HAR/EN/NA/AR
08 points - VISE
11 points - CUE
11 points - DO/OH
13 points - GIBE/ANE
18 points - DAZE/DE/AT
08 points - GELD/EL
-3 points to Jean for going out first, and I finished with a 235. Jean beat me with a 276.

It'd be fun to come up with the rules for this one.
