- Weekly Anagram Challenge Ed Saunders provides our challenge this week. With a rack of AEELRSV, Ed played the bingo SEVERAL, which has FOUR anagrams. Can you come up with them? (Answer in "Bingos" section below.)
We featured two regular contests this week.
The first was the "PH" Contest awarded to the player who turned
in the highest scoring play of a word that contains the letters "P"
and "H" somewhere within it. Sarah Jacobson scored 18 for PEH,
but Richard Spence reached into the garden for a 50 pt APHID
and walks off with the $4.50 prize.
The second was the Pearl Harbor Memorial Contest for the highest scoring
play of a word that pertains in some DIRECT way to war, combat, or the weapons
of war. Bob Knouse touched on one of Japan's war strategies with SUICIDAL
for 89 pts and the $4.50 spoils of war that goes with it.
Ed Saunders found an open RE combination on the board and got away with the plausible 9 letter phoney treelines to win the $10.46 in the 9+ Bingo Progressive Jackpot.
Ed's winnings will be donated back to the club kitty.
No one cashed in on any of the other Progressive Jackpots this week and each shall have $1.12 added to it. We have paid out $213.22 in prizes this season. Click here for a complete list of prizes awarded during the 2008-2009 season.
