Transcendental Scrabble - game highlights
Here are the highlights from the six (6) Scrabble games played last
night,
Wednesday, July 9 2008, at the Dover Scrabble Club (Delaware). We
use
the American Heritage dictionary and do not allow phony words.
Still,
we make longer words and score a lot more points than you. Our
finished
boards are things of beauty.

in the club before. We scored 25.4 points per turn as a club.
My favorite plays were PRESIDIO and AVIDITY, but I might be
biased.
Scrabble players with any experience and the slightest perception
looking at the above lists should cry out, "That's impossible!
Mere mortals can't possibly do such a thing!" Here's how:
