Our family record for most points in a single Scrabble turn was set tonight by Mr TBTAM with the word EQUATE. With a triple letter on the Q and a double word, that’s 70 points!
It was an exciting family moment, and Mr TBTAM even called his Mom to tell her. (I know – we need to get a life…)
Of course, this is nothing compared to the world record set by Michael Cresta in 2006 with the word QUIXOTRY – 365 points. Cresta covered two triple word squares, giving him 9 times the value of the word, and captured the 50 point bonus for using all his letters. He also set the record for the most points in a game – 830.
I wonder what his mom said?
Is she Jewish? 🙂
Too funny. My sister-in-law, Harriet, was just bragging over the weekend that she had a 93 point word with BOVINE. It was the highlight of her career with scrabble…
I can’t get my husband to play Scrabble. Darn, but I think you have a fine life. 🙂
“Son, when are you going to settle down and get married? You can play Scrabble with my grandchildren.” 🙂
