nothing much quackled yet, but here's the rundown. double round robin played two games at a time.

Jere 1: i have PETASOS turn 2, he answers with ANGLEPOD which gives me the letter i need for U(N)POLITE. both blanks for me while he struggles. w 483-284.

I didn't know you had a phony in our first game. I screwed up that game in enough other ways to not deserve winning. That last game would be a lot more traumatic if it was against someone else for much higher stakes.

i thought it was good when i played it - i thought it was iritises and iritides*. apparently not.

rpd played iritides against me in orlando. she actually played iridites first and i challenged it off but let the second one go. or maybe it was the other way around.

[jmallick]

I blame that on her then, because I knew I saw it on a board once. That's the major flaw in memory - knowing that I saw it somewhere, but not the context.

One of those is good, right?

Against Linda Wancel earlier this year at a N. Salem open tourney my opening rack was DEIIIRT so i tried IRIDITE*. she challenged it off, and on turn 2 i played TEIID. then on the next three plays i bingoed w/ VESTIARY TOLLAGE and SECATEUR (trip-trip) for like 300 points and she challenged all three! so IRIDITE* ended up helping me out after all.

[scrabblek8]

that was a fun game to watch.

i play IODITE* all the time.

i thought SORDIDER# _was_ good when i read you played it.

SORDIDEST# has a cool collins word for anagram, plural of DROSTDY a type of south african house.

[skin_it_mahatma]

you might've been thinking of OTITISES and OTITIDES.
