a good scrabble game

[redbird]

I don't normally post about Scrabble, but want to note that I just ended with two play-all-the-letters 50-point bonuses: AQUAMARINES (on existing AQUA) and YEARLIES, both on triple-word scores. ("MARINES" would be an ordinary play: an eleven-letter word feels special, and would have even if it hadn't been over 100 points total.)

Woo, AQUAMARINES, that is a very cool Scrabble word. Nice one!

Excellent! Given that there are so many uses for the "bingo" metaphor these days, from consciousness raising cards re: identity politics to writing communities reinvigorating boring tropes, I think we should create a "bingo bingo," where we fill each square with fabulous words such as this. My personal fave built on an existing word to hit both triple-word scores, but I've lost the actual word.
