"Since everybody knows that qouds is not a word" To be fair, 5 minutes ago I didn't know zineb, titchier or flaxy were words. Qouds looks like a fine word next to those.
Wow, that second story was absolutely hilarious!😂 Another funny thing: If WIREWEED* were good, it would score 110 points after the correct spelling of ATHEIST. Therefore, since Dean can't challenge, the phony would actually turn out better than the valid bingo!
There's nothing more difficult in Scrabble than convincing intermediate players to stop passing on the opening turn. Maybe Dustin will be convinced by being put on the spot in front of your whole audience like this 😅😅😅
I was never sure, what is the order for hitting the clock, score counting, and drawing tiles in tournament play? Can I hit my clock and draw tiles right after announcing my score, or do I need to let my opponent counter-check the score first?
The oppponent can score check in their own time. I'm not the fastest at calculating. But I usually get it done in seconds, provided the turn doesn't have 7 overlaps including on a TWS, and DLS. You play ZEBO for 30, announce 0, hit the clock. Your turn is irrefutably over once you hit the clock.
1. Place tiles on board 2. Announce score of play and record blank 3. Hit clock 4. Record total score (recording score of play or words played is optional) 5. Draw tiles (this must be done at least 5 seconds after hitting clock)
That second game took me on such a journey. I was confused after not noticing any valid 8s in DEEEIRWW even after checking Zyzzyva, then I assumed you misspoke and meant to say R (WIREDREW), then I realised how cryptically you were talking about it and that he was probably fishing for a phony. Spent a good while trying to find some fun invalid anagrams of that. As well as WEEDWIRE and WIREWEED there's WEEDWEIR, WEIRDWEE, WEEWIRED, WEIRDEWE, WIDEEWER, WWEEDIER, or perhaps the best one, IDREWWEE. It's an archaic exclamation used when an artist has just painted urine. Unfortunately it's only valid in Collins.
Thank you for being a safe driver

Yeah, of all those words, I only know ZINEB... Didn't really know that you could put a Y at the end of FLAX… But that's good to know

It would’ve been even funnier if Eric played NITROGEN in the other spot and got hit with WIREDREW.
Phonies are probably the FUNIEST* things in Scrabble
Good ole i64. That drive from Ashland to Lexington is beautiful.

Not enough faces and palms in the country for the amount of facepalming required for the second game.
What are they serving at the craft tables at these events lol

Nice mic
Well, it is harder not to laugh! 😂
Yeah, I put into a scrabble search engine the letters on his rack with the extra E… And I got nothing. So I knew that was coming along sometime soon.
That second game really was some clown music Scrabble
Like any good athiest, I enjoyed this phony christmas eve treat.
Wait - people in the USA don't have to pull over before taking phone calls?
I mean, it's up to you, isn't it? There is a fine for using a phone while driving, but it appears few drivers are discouraged by that
As long as you have a hands-free solution (which are pretty common these days), you are not required to pull over.

I wonder if Josh would have gone for something like 1B ATHEIST...

The entire time I was thinking that Dustin would end up playing REWIEWED 😆
