0 Guest Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 I'm sure this isn't optimal, but it's not too bad for a start. JACK DUMB GYVE WOLF SPHINX QUARTZ Blanks are A and U, one extra word, so 944. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JACK DUMB GYVE WOLF SPHINX QUARTZ Blanks are A and U, one extra word, so 944. Well, you're right on both accounts. It's not optimal, but it certainly is praise-worthy, so Good Job! But there is a higher score out there somewhere... Whoever gets the highest score becomes the scrabble club team captain! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
