What a way to start the new year for Amnon who was OVERRICH with the highest bingo points of 126 by playing the word, Lynn who garnered the highest average bingo score of 94, and David for setting the bar with a game score of 1,104 points. Although no prizes are awarded for such competence, they certainly have earned early bragging rights in 2023. Below are the stats for the month. Three phony bingoes that were excluded from the bingo stats are 1) CASTINET, 2) LEAKINGS and 3) STENTER. Good anagrams for them are ENTASTIC, NICTATES and TETANICS for #1, LINKAGES and SNAGLIKE for #2, and NETTERS and TENTERS for #3.
