After being thoroughly beaten twice by Robby at Scrabble, I finally won tonight's grueling game. Actually, I "pwned" him: 428 to 232. It was by far my best game, mostly due to lucky draws. I consistently drew the perfect balance of consonants & vowels. Plus, I stumbled upon a seven-letter word that I was able to place over a triple-word space: "boori(s)h" (95 points). Robby was able to use a seven-letter word too: "ti(n)gles" (74 points). I was also able use four triple-word spaces: "boori(s)h", "ounce", "feuds", & "qualm". Robby was able to get away with using "exe" and "da", which are not real words. I was afraid to challenge him, so he got away with the points. But I did challenge him the third time, on "pe", which ended up being in the Scrabble online dictionary (a Hebrew word).
I usually don't mind losing to Robby, the Scrabble Master, but tonight, it felt good to win, especially with lots of luck on my side.
