I just opened a game with a bingo of REDWING. Nice! Added it to the end of MERGE.

I got the luckiest letters on earth one time and had 2 z's and a J so I was sucking ass for a while until I could drop the bomb and I played
JAZZY off of a TL and TW that ended up being like 160 or something. It was one of the greatest days of my life.

There's only one Z, and I'm pretty sure you can't hit a TL and TW on the same word

The other morning I was playing my brother-in-law on the app on my iPod while I was on the can. I landed REQUIRED on a tws for 104 points, then took a massive dump. What a great morning!

We had a fucked up scrabble then. That makes me question all the other letters now though and I'm counting next time I'm there.

Naw it was just scrabble at a bar that has a bunch of board games. My guess is that a one point there were two games and someone just dumped all the letters in.

We do a lot of smack-talking in my family over Scrabble. I landed CAPRICE on my brother last week and texted him, "Kneel before Zod!"

There is a handy little chart on the side of the board saying how many of each tile you're supposed to have. One of the biggest flaws of the app is that it doesn't have this. I'm starting to memorize it.

yeah. to be fair if you dont own a scrabble board and just play at the bar you either know exactly how many letters there should be or you don't even care/realize.
Once in Words with Friends (not exactly scrabble) I used my entire rack for a word and got some absurd amount of points and also told my girlfriend to "Kneel Before, Zod." So good choice of taunts.

I once landed on an internet site with LITTLE CAPRICE. It was rather entertaining....in a NSFW way.

I haven't played Scrabble in years, but always pretty much have a game of Words With Friends going. I've hit on three bingos since I started playing about a month ago - Calamity, Mariners and Noisier. Although for two of them of I had to use a blank tile and the most points I got for one play was only about 90.
Wow, that all sounded really dorky.
