I have only got 3 on the go now so I thought it was about time I annoyed some more people by playing one uninspiring scrabble move per day

can I just ask if it is possible to reuse blanks in this game? ie if someone has used it as a D, and you have a D in your hand, you can swap it for the blank
or is that PPH rules again...

Tutter · 23/10/2007 21:28

pph, they are the peahead rules, evidently

nope, you have to use it as a D

mintydixcharrington · 23/10/2007 21:28

tutt I'm back to 5 vowels again
seemingly all Is

mintydixcharrington · 23/10/2007 21:33

6 vowels now

FrannyandZooey · 23/10/2007 21:39

do you know, I just missed my go to swop one letter in the game I am playing with olivia, although I had perfectly good letters, because if I had got a D I would have made Olivia's surname and got a 7 letter word and got a huge score and it would have amused me mightily

I didn't get a D, of course, so now I am losing

and I AM CHATTING WITH YOU ALL ON THE MESSAGE BIT

but you aren't reading it

mintydixcharrington · 23/10/2007 22:16

no no we are almost finished!

FrannyandZooey · 23/10/2007 22:16

what was the ouch? was it poo?

FrannyandZooey · 23/10/2007 22:17

minty do you always play this tight a board? I don't like it at all

OP posts:
mintydixcharrington · 23/10/2007 22:20

no it is completely hideous
the game I'm playing with tutt is much better, look here

mintydixcharrington · 23/10/2007 22:22

half the trouble is I've been holding onto a Q with no U for at least 6 goes
and there is nowhere to write QI either!!!

At the mo I have 2 consonants, one of them is Q, and I have no U. So I can't exactly write a long word and open it up

FrannyandZooey · 23/10/2007 22:22

oh lovely, I like NONG

I thought maybe it was your super evil strategy to stop anyone from scoring - it's a bastard, isn't it?

OP posts:
FrannyandZooey · 23/10/2007 22:23

there isn't anywhere to write long words

we are up the creek

I cannot nbelieve there is such a long thread about a very slow game of scrabble.

mintydixcharrington · 23/10/2007 22:38

no I don't have a strategy
I just write the words that get me the best points
or the ones that make me laugh
or just juicy ones

I'm constantly opening up triple word scores for other people just because I feel like writing "bosoms" or whatever

FrannyandZooey · 23/10/2007 22:40

well it really is a very very slow game pointy

OP posts:
popsycal · 24/10/2007 07:36

wahey I have played my very boring word

also
I just get the words out of my head - are you lot writing them down and using dictionaries!?!?!?

mintydixcharrington · 24/10/2007 07:49

well in our game popsy I'm now holding FOUR Es an O and an I

So if anyone wants any Es - I've got them all

popsycal · 24/10/2007 07:56

popsycal · 24/10/2007 07:56

Tutter · 24/10/2007 09:43
