- ONE SINGULAR ACHIEVEMENT. . . . Richard Spence shows us the benefits of knowing the most probable bingos. Last Thursday, Monique Kornell played the bingo DECIARES in club for her second time this season. On Sunday, at the Northwest club, Ed Saunders played the bingo DECIARES, as well. Richard took it back to basics this week, playing the singular DECIARE, the third consecutive club session that that particular combination of letters has come up.
- WEEKLY ANAGRAM CHALLENGE. . . . Mary Lou Van Liere provides us with our challenge this week. With a rack of AEINRTU, Mary Lou played the bingo RUINATE, which has THREE useful anagrams. Can you find the anagrams for RUINATE? Answers in green in the "Bingos" section below.
- THEM SCRABBLE GODS BE FICKLE THINGS. . . . Richard Spence found that out after his bingo TWANGIER against Ed. The next rack. . . .E,E,E,E,E,R,R. . . . Ed, of course, was dealing with Scrabble God problems of his own. . . .
We featured two regular contests this week
The first regular contest was the "BR" Contest for the highest scoring play of a word that contains the letters "B", and "R", in any order, somewhere within it. Ed Saunders led it off with BUR for 10 pts, Kayla Peck hooked that with a Y for BURY to tally 21 pts, Richard Spence tried BROWN for 29 pts, Mary Lou Van Liere was puttin' on the dog with OUTBARKS for 78 pts, but Michael Rhodes came up with the proverbial "horse of a different color" playing ZEBRASS for 91 pts and rides off with the $6.75 prize.
The second regular contest was the Independence Day Contest for the highest scoring play of a word that pertains in some direct manner to the 4th of July. There were no entries last week so the $4.50 prize was rolled over to this session. Michael Rhodes tried TOASTIER (as in "hotter than last year") for 68, Richard Spence showed his love of COUNTRY for 79 pts, but Sarah Jacobson wins the combined $11.25 prize with her 88 pt play of EQUALITY.
No one cashed in on any of the Progressive Jackpots this week and each shall have $1.68 added to it. We have paid out a total of $459.91 in prizes during the 2008-2009 season. Click here for a complete list of prizes awarded during the 2008-2009 season.

can.
