Time to try this again.

First I played ERE[C]TIVE off of Carburize for 28 points. Then I played HUGER, also off of Carburize, for 20 points. No bingo, so hopefully that means I got it right this time.

Everything was correct; now we just get to mock you for making ERECTIVE and HUGER at the same time.

Also, Smelnick failed to mention that he used a blank in DODOE[] (he would have had to). I corrected it on the board and his score.

Yeldarb seems to have dropped out of the game, since he's gone almost 2 days without a move. Odd, since he was in contention for the lead. I'll wait until closer to 10am to post today's letters, since if he doesn't use any, it'll affect how I distribute the remaining 18 tiles.

EDIT: Final letters are posted. I gave 3 letters to the 4 players with the least amount of letters, and 0 letters to Yeldarb and Grawl. Remember, everyone has unlimited turns today to make the most of whatever letters you have left.

Turn 1 is X, on the I in SOVEREIGN, forming XI for 25 points.

I swap my G for the blank G in PAINTING.

Turn 2 is ELLS (S=[]), on DEPILATE, forming TELLS and COEVOLUTIONS, for 24 points.

Turn 3 is H, on WAKANDA, forming HA and HE, for 20 points.

Turn 4 is O, on the K in Caseworkers, forming KOI, for 14 points.

Turn 5 is T, under DOS, forming DOST, for 10 points.

Total haul for today is 93 points. I hereby finish with 992 points, just 18 short of my 1000 point goal :(

Turn 1: TAN and ON: 8 points
Turn 2: ION and AIR: 12 points
Turn 3: TEAL, EN, and AG: 15 points
Turn 4: LA, LA, and AM: 11 points
Turn 5: REAL, AA, and AAL: 9 points

Total for today: 55 points

Note: I checked to see I wasn't duplicating any two letter words on the board by using Ctrl+F on all the letters I used for my two letter formations.

- Replace a "[]" in "SANDPITS" with my "S"
- GAR off of "PAINTING" and "HYDRO" = 8
- LAM off of "OUTROAR" = 6
--subsequently, MO off of "ROD"= 3
- []X (OX) off of "NONTOXIC" = 8
- ZA off of "ZOOM" = 11
- subsequently, AN off of "PEONY" = 2
- AI off of "COEVOLUTION" = 2
--subsequently, AY off of "YO" = 5
- NU off of ADENOMATA = 2


Total = 47

I don't know of any rule that says you can't make duplicate words. Also, LAM is worth 4 points, not 6. I clarify because that 2 point reduction means you're currently tied with me for 2nd.

Wierd, I thought I had calculated it with 0 points for the blank. guess I miscounted. Doesn't that still count as a bingo though?

Additional Spam:
Alright. I layed down BIT for 3 points

I exchanged my O for the [] in OX, and layed it down at the end of ROD to form RODS for another 3 points.

this gives me 6 points in total. HUZZAH!! an epic last move.

It's still a bingo, yes. I gave you the points for it.

Laid down AERO which also makes OP. Also laid down KOPJE

AERO = 4
OP = 3
KOPJE = 18

Total = 25

Do I get bingo for only taking two turns and using all my letters? If so, 75 points in total.

Alright, using up my final three letters:

- I lay down the I to form PI and ID for a total of 7 points (using the P of EYESPOTS).
- The A forms ZA and AE for a total of 13 points (using the Z from CARBURIZE).
- Finally, my B creates BA and BI on a double word score for 16 points (using the A from WAR).

That comes to a grand total of 36 points. Unfortunately, that leaves me just 6 points shy of making this a three-way tie for second place and I can't find a move to get those. :(

So close, yet so far, eh buddy? :(

Yeah, I'm just glad to be done.

JO off of Mesothorax for 25 points
DUB off of Abates for 10 points
NOD off of Nonillions/Forbade for 8 points
PI off of Depilate for 6 points
EN off of Dodoes for 4 points

Total: 53

Final scores are tallied. Great game, everyone!
