RESULTS: 9-25-14 Superscrabble Games

Congrats to TOM TITUS who won 3 games, and to BILL LAPINSKI for winning all 3 games, for the high game at 1080 points, for the most number of bingoes = 17 words, and for the highest cumulative score of 3010. RENÉE won the high-scoring non-bingo word QUOTERS = 180. MALIHA achieved the highest points for a bingo word RESTING = 107. We celebrated the life JOYCE PALMER who left to be at her final resting place on 9-12-14 with extra food offerings, sharing photos of Joyce, and a prayer sang in Latin “Pater Noster” and Arabic “Alhamdu-lillah.”

An award for the highest points for non-bingo word has taken effect on 9-25-14. This makes a total of 7 incentives to study your playable words more often. To reiterate the award points: (1) winning all 3 games; (2) highest game-point; (3) most number of bingo played; (4) highest bingo points; (5) words that fit the assigned category—a slight change on this—you will get an award for all the words you find that fit the category, but must have 5 letters or more; (6) highest cumulative points after 3 games whether you win all the games or not; and (7) highest score for a non-bingo word.

Before going forward with this reminder, here’s Gretchen’s message regarding Joyce Palmer, just in case you missed Gretch’s email. I wish to share my grieving heart. We’ll miss her physical presence. She might still be floating around trying to play with us on Thursday on her way to the pathway to heaven.

“I just spoke to Joyce’s son Kevin. He found his Mom on the floor when he returned home. She had her pajamas on and obviously just keeled over. I am so delighted that her last day–Thursday-was spent with friends playing Super Scrabble at Maliha’s club in Tustin. We celebrated her birthday with cake and song, and she seemed delighted to be a part of the lively group.” I’m sure you all join me in sending condolences to Kevin,Janet and her other children.

Please let me know if you’re coming via email, home (714) 544-4746, thru cell phone, or text message (714) 654-4308. New comers are welcome. We’ll be glad to show you how to play the most enjoyable mental game worthy of experiencing. We start at 10:00 a.m., have a get-together lunch break; and two more games in the afternoon. All words played that fit the category assigned must have 5 letters or more to qualify for a prize. Read on so you’re prepared as to what…?

First game category: something to do with anything you see at your favorite grocery store. Examples: fruits, bread, meats, skewers, butter, sauce, cleanser, spices, liquor, wines, chips, vegetables, flowers, onions, etc.

Second game category – relating to pets: aquarium, leash, hairbrush, bulldog, barks, meous, meows, snake, rabbit, ducks, monkey, iguana, purring, etc.

Third game – seawater creatures: barracuda, whale, urchins, lamprey, basses, crabs, abalone, mollusk, clownfish, anemone, jellyfish, octopus, octopi, squid, corals, sharks, etc. (Note: freshwater creatures are not acceptable in this category.)

LOOK at this long word to learn: WHOLEHEARTEDNESSES = 18 letters long. Try and list your personal breakdown. Example of a few words that you can make out: whole, heart, nesses, etc. Come on. You can do better! Remember the second box now has $245 (14+ letters). The first box is just starting with $15 (12-13 letters) because the prior content was grabbed by Bill and Gretchen. If they can do it, you can do it, too!

All day category: Words starting with WH… This all-day category will be effective during the month of September, so it will go on also for the 9-25-14 meeting. To qualify, the word must contain 5 letters.
