Scrabble Adventures

At the end of the first day, I’m 5-2 +293 and am keeping up with the leaders. Not having played for a year, I sure do feel rusty.

Started off slowly, but seemed to pick-up after lunch. The game immediately following lunch, I had a monster of a game – 5 bingos!

Some quick recaps of the games:

• Game 1 vs. BG: Think I should’ve won. Missed DEPLANED near the end.
• Game 2 vs EJ: Found STUN(T)MEN but let AGAZED stay on the board (yikes!)
• Game 3 vs. PM: Very close game and I realized far too late that mis-read TORTISE (phoney)
• Game 4 vs. LT: Kept it close, but I lost a turn by challenging WAKED and couldn’t make up the difference
• Game 5 vs. KC: Here are the bingos: G(R)OWLERS, UN(T)IMELY, iNQUIRE, COVERI(N)G, and UN(L)EASEd. I almost had a bingo bango bongo but got foiled when the opponent blocked my spot to play JItNEYS
• Game 6 vs. MB: A fun game that came down to the end.
• Game 7 vs. BM: A close game that I almost lost – my opponent tried REBRONZE which is not good
