Post Your Bingos Here

Just two in my recently completed game with Willets. From me: BRISTLE If you look hard enough, you see about nine possible bingos in that rack. From him: LIKABLE Mine went for 75, his for 70, but he ended up taking me by six points --- something like the difference between swapping tiles out of a bad rack and playing them on the board.

What is this....Bingo?

Fman99 Aug 15 2010 05:31 PM Re: Post Your Bingos Here

A "bingo" is a Scrabble term, Coobs, for a turn in which the player uses all seven tiles in their hand (and earns a 50 point scoring bonus as a result).

cooby Aug 15 2010 05:35 PM Re: Post Your Bingos Here

Ah...I didn't know that and Scrabble is a family favorite. Though I think my son took it when he moved out :)

Rockin' Doc Aug 15 2010 06:43 PM Re: Post Your Bingos Here

This is the bingo cooby and I are more familiar with.

Old joke: A man is struck by a bus on a busy street in New York City.He lies dying on the sidewalk as a crowd of spectators gathers around."A priest. Somebody get me a priest!" the man gasps.A policeman checks the crowd----no priest, no minister, no man of God of any kind."A PRIEST, PLEASE!" the dying man says again.Then out of the crowd steps a little old Jewish man of at least eighty years of age."Mr. Policeman," says the man, "I'm not a priest. I'm not even a Catholic.But for fifty years now I'm living behind St. Elizabeth's Catholic Church on First Avenue,and every night I'm listening to the Catholic litany. Maybe I can be of some comfort to this man."The policeman agreed and brought the octogenarian over to where the dying man lay.He kneels down, leans over the injured and says in a solemn voice: "B-4. I-19. N-38. G-54. O-72. . ."

Frayed Knot Sep 12 2010 10:20 PM Re: Post Your Bingos Here

There's no way I'd be confidently able to spell ARPEGGIO without looking it up; how many Rs?, how many Ps?, how many Gs?. Not to mention the long odds against me seeing it even if I did know. Nor would I have known that FINAGLE is also spelled FENAGLE -- the SCRABBLE dictionary allows the variation although my Spellcheck is questioning it as I type And I probably would have gone to my grave never knowing that ALIPEDS is an actual word: n. an animal with a membrane connecting the toes I had a girlfriend years ago who had that.

EXOTHERM's exclusion and FENAGLE's inclusion make me doubt the existence of a benevolent Scrabbling deity. In current events, 'Bucket's INHUMANE not only yoinked him the lead, but it cruelly blocked a trip-digit bingo, forcing me to play a 20-something pointer instead. That's, like, a million-point swing.

i was sitting on the couch in the living room playing with the scrabble ipod app while minimm was playing on the floor. i had just activated the app when the little guy noticed something a) that i wasn't paying enough attention to him, b) that something was shiny c) and glowing, and d) it looked like i was having fun with it. so he walked on over and grabbed for it. in the ensuing wrestling match, onscreen buttons may have been pushed in the appropriate sequence to skip a turn. or in the process of shoving it into my back pocket, i may not have locked the screen, leading to an improbable butt-skip. a half hour later, i start up the game through facebook, and its still my turn, with the same rack, but edgy's score is higher. i figured it out from there. i still had the chance to win the game, but was a little flustered and missed the many many openings that would've allowed me to drop in my last three tiles for the win. instead, i left one on my rack, and edgy took the comeback win.

Willets opened our game ONSTAGE, but I had a bingo on my own rack to DETONATE.

Willets Point Dec 04 2010 08:34 PM Re: Post Your Bingos Here

LOCATES The S was on a DW extending FAERIE. The L was also on a DW. Total points = 102.

metsmarathon Dec 04 2010 08:43 PM Re: Post Your Bingos Here

my rack has been OBEDIENT lately in allowing a fairly steady stream of bingos to issue forth.

Fman99 Dec 05 2010 09:25 PM Re: Post Your Bingos Here

Wow, five active games and it took me an entire day to get a bingo. My confidence was ERODING for a while there, thanks metsmarathon :P

Just hit f-man with a walk-off MOLDIER grand slam.

Chad Ochoseis Dec 09 2010 11:54 AM Re: Post Your Bingos Here

All I saw were FOIBLES and FOLIAGE, neither of which score as well as OFFLINE.

EGESTING FOILERS, btw, NOT legal.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Dec 09 2010 09:29 PM Re: Post Your Bingos Here

Really on FOILERS? I was fairly CAHNfident of OFFLINE but woulda felt better trying FOILERS

John Cougar Lunchbucket wrote: Really on FOILERS?

Also consulted the word-check in an on-line game and got the same answer. OFFLINE is valid - as is ONSIDE although not ONSIDES

metsmarathon Dec 11 2010 07:08 PM Re: Post Your Bingos Here

MATINEE to open a rematch against fman.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Dec 11 2010 08:58 PM Re: Post Your Bingos Here

A nifty EVASION in my last turn got my cornered ass a walkoff against a snapping, snarling Wolf.

metsmarathon Dec 11 2010 10:04 PM Re: Post Your Bingos Here

lunchbucket's going to put a PRINCELY sum on my head if i keep dropping bingos on him...

Edgy DC Dec 13 2010 10:45 AM Re: Post Your Bingos Here

Still desperately trying to get my head above water, I present my VENDETTA against Lunchbucket for a sweet 98.

metsmarathon Dec 13 2010 07:00 PM Re: Post Your Bingos Here

edgy just dropped STARRING on me, which REQUIRED a hasty rebuke.

Edgy DC Dec 13 2010 07:19 PM Re: Post Your Bingos Here

Saw that coming. So obvious, in fact, that a bunch of YAWNERS expressed 51 non-bingo points worth of boredom.

metsmarathon Dec 18 2010 09:51 PM Re: Post Your Bingos Here

finally, a walkoff bingo, with LEANERS

Edgy DC Dec 18 2010 09:54 PM Re: Post Your Bingos Here

One of those two punches you just landed had to have been in my face. But, I'm getting my boat back afloat. Hit Seawolf with FIDDLERS and Willets with DISEASE. Go, Scrabblevison, go!

John Cougar Lunchbucket Dec 19 2010 05:55 PM Re: Post Your Bingos Here

Bingos can send your ranking SKYWARD.

Edgy DC Dec 19 2010 06:00 PM Re: Post Your Bingos Here

Nice. That's three Bengalis played against me in three turns.

Edgy DC Dec 19 2010 10:17 PM Re: Post Your Bingos Here

Down about 150 and stuck with two U's, a guy has to find a NOUVEAU way to play them off.

Fman99 Dec 20 2010 05:37 PM Re: Post Your Bingos Here

Hey, MM, LWFS, active games boys. I'm just sitting here being handsome.

Frayed Knot Dec 20 2010 05:38 PM Re: Post Your Bingos Here

Anyone see anything here? A C E I M N S Couldn't find one so I went with MANICS If there is one in there I had several places to hook a Bingo - including a TWS if the S is in the 5, 6, or 7 spot, or a DWS if the C in is any of those same places. Nothing on the board to work with except an ending P I did manage to throw down WARLORDS and TEENAGE

Oh, I waited two days to drop that bingo on LWFS. Schooling him! Sending him to YESHIVA, in fact (and hitting the TW on the A for a cool 114 points).

John Cougar Lunchbucket Dec 22 2010 09:21 AM Re: Post Your Bingos Here

My 98-point, double-double bingo will be an OBSTACLE for Marathon to overcome. Scrabblevision on fire.

metsmarathon Dec 22 2010 09:26 AM Re: Post Your Bingos Here

ya know, i totally missed a gimme bingo on that opening draw, too. ugh. i suck.

Frayed Knot Dec 22 2010 09:35 AM Re: Post Your Bingos Here

I threw down a late game UNCAGES on a guy to go up by almost 200 points and drew the final three tiles [E I U] ... turned out I needed almost every one of those points as he countered with FLOUTING through my U and across two TWS for 158 points and the 6 more for the tiles left in my rack.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Dec 22 2010 07:48 PM Re: Post Your Bingos Here

After just 2 turns and a 180-29 deficit, it's safe to assume Marathon REALIZES he's in trouble here.

metsmarathon Dec 22 2010 09:12 PM Re: Post Your Bingos Here

ow. quit it.

Fman99 Dec 23 2010 03:23 PM Re: Post Your Bingos Here

I love the delicious irony of dropping bingos appropriate to your opponent on them. For example, dropping CHAKRAS on my hippie friend ABNS. Someone get out there and fluff his aura, quick!

Fman99 Dec 23 2010 08:16 PM Re: Post Your Bingos Here

It's hard to do what I just did to MM, having SLINKED by him playing the TROMBONE.

metsmarathon Dec 26 2010 11:10 AM Re: Post Your Bingos Here

hey, if it's been a while since you've last bingoed, play me in scrabble right now! they're giving them away, apparently, to all of my opponents!

metsmarathon Dec 26 2010 06:00 PM Re: Post Your Bingos Here

the plan i used to draw edgy into my trap had lots of curvy lines, drawn with SPLINES. mwahaha!

Edgy DC Dec 26 2010 07:46 PM Re: Post Your Bingos Here

I opened with a rack that was a T or an E short of bingolations, so I passed figuring you had to play one of those. Nope. I'll get mine, though.

Marathon thought he was COASTIN=#4000FF]G to an early lead.

Willets Point Dec 29 2010 07:46 PM Re: Post Your Bingos Here

I've been bingoing left and right in my vacation week SCRABBLE matches: metsmarathon was dazzled by my GLITZES. FMan didn't crumble away when I opened with ERODENT but CRASHER put an end to his party. With A Boy Named Seo's reputation as a lady's man, it's surprising that I OUTLAID him. The tiles on my rack against Lunchbucket were definitely not TRADABLE. Then I CANNONED him out of the water. Surprisingly, Edgy played a bingo against me in my other current game, but I still hold a strong lead against him regardless.

Fman99 Dec 29 2010 08:00 PM Re: Post Your Bingos Here

Drop enough bingos on a player and you'll turn them into your ARCHFOE. Isn't that right, LWFS?
