The Wonderful World of Bingos

Mets – Willets Point Jan 07 2012 09:38 PM

Lunchy just got TAMPONED ... ew! I got 98 points.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jan 07 2012 09:55 PM Re: The Wonderful World of Bingos

Must play BLOODIED to get back into this one.

Frayed Knot Jan 08 2012 09:11 AM Re: The Wonderful World of Bingos

I put up HONEYED a few days back, which by itself wasn't all that exciting a Bingo except that I frustratingly thought I had no place to hang it despite the fact that you can usually parallel-hook both the beginning and the end of that word almost anywhere. And then I finally noticed OIL on the board and turned it into OILY

Seriously. A hunnert and fifty eight is a tempting prospect. But January's bad enough without a cold bed added to the mix.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jan 20 2012 07:31 PM Re: The Wonderful World of Bingos

She deserved it. I left the 'T' out there reachable to either (or both) TW squares on the previous turn and she didn't use it or block.

Frayed Knot Jan 25 2012 03:39 PM Re: The Wonderful World of Bingos

STREELS Apparently it means something akin to STROLLS. And I'm sure it probably was a real word at some point, like maybe nine or ten centuries ago. But, of course, no word ever really dies, especially if it's someone's mission to make sure it stays alive. So how did I know it was a word? I didn't, it was my on-line opponent who played it after "thinking" about it for five or six minutes then claiming it was "a shot in the dark". I should mention that it was also the final move of the game as he hooked it onto WAGE to make SWAGE/TO/STREELS across a TWL for 82 points and a 20-point win (I had one tile remaining). Wonder if he had to look up SWAGE also or if he already knew that one?

My Scrabblevision my be recovering. I just eked out a win over Willets for the first time in forever, and against his friend, I had COUGARS with nowhere to put it, played COURAGE for 18 instead, and came up with FILTERS on the draw. Having no place to put that either, I did some anagramming, and laied out FLIRTERS with a pair of hooks to add QI and AT on as well. The I grabbed a DWS square so both FLIRTERS and QI were doubled. Ninety-six. A healthy feeling. I'm eating a lot of dirt in the four-ways, though.

I tried WWF. Didn't like the layout and other changes that were made to avoid copyright infringement. Also annoyed by the constant ad frenzy surrounding the board. So I deleted the app. Scrabble is where it's at, although I'd love to find an online version where challenges are acceptable and one can try to sneak in a phony strategically.

Edgy MD Feb 09 2012 09:30 AM Re: The Wonderful World of Bingos

I'd like to play a scrabble where you can tweak the rules. Add words to the dictionary --- like a glossary of Mets names --- or expand the board size and letter count so you can play for hours. Eventually, 28 squares from the center, you build out and reach the 6x word score squares.

metsmarathon Feb 09 2012 09:46 AM Re: The Wonderful World of Bingos

the one thing the words with friends iphone app has over scrabble is speed. in the time it takes scrabble to load, connect with hte server, load the board, and play my turn, i can have played through about 5 turns on words with friends. i like scrabble better, but i can play more on wwf.

Mets – Willets Point Feb 09 2012 09:49 AM Re: The Wonderful World of Bingos

Yeah, smart phone users seem to love WWF. It's another example of how mobile devices are ruining everything.

By the way, am I the only one who bothers to give names to Scrabble games anymore. I know it's silly but I play a lot of games and helps to keep them sorted.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Feb 09 2012 09:58 AM Re: The Wonderful World of Bingos

WWF has like, 10 Ss per bag, and if anything rewards hyperdefensive play that would deny your opponent openings on lanes with multiple bonus squares. Plus it doesn't allow bad words like CUNT, doesn't add your score as you go, and doesn't provide a "score by innings" summary. WP: Scrab doesn't allow me to name my own games anymore, I don't think.

It wasn't quite as large as your idea although it went out large enough to accommodate QWS squares in the corners and mid-point sides. As for using glossary a NYM names, as long as there's no computer smacking off the words and both parties agree ...

Frayed Knot Feb 22 2012 03:43 PM Re: The Wonderful World of Bingos

I remembered that sneaky A this time as I made JADE/AFORE in the upper-right corner getting the J on the DLS and the E on the TWS for a cool 68 points. Still lost the game, but I liked that I remembered the play. In a different game, my opponent played MARLINS and drew the final five tiles. Fortunately I had a different spot to play OUTSEEN. The 18 point bonus I got for his remaining tiles [HOUTE] was enough to push me over the top by 7 in a game I never led at any point. * spell-check marks OUTSEEN as an incorrect word but SCRABBLE does not * also, add WALLY to the list of NYM names that are acceptable SCRABBLE plays. Look it up in the SCRABBLE Dictionary and they tell you it means the same thing as WALY. Oh, OK. BACKMAN, however, is not good.

Edgy MD Feb 23 2012 09:01 PM Re: The Wonderful World of Bingos

One of the things you can do at the SCRABBLE site at ISC.RO is choose to watch an ongoing game between two highly rated players. I saw one of these yesterday which included Bingos: INTROIT DEPUTING RELEGATED IOLITES WEREGILD REVIEWER TENANTRY The final score wound up as 553 - 413 Oh one other thing ... it was a game with a 4-minute per side time limit.

Frayed Knot Mar 18 2012 12:34 PM Re: The Wonderful World of Bingos

A BINGO quiz of sorts - and I say of sorts because I don't know if it has an actual answer. Here's the situation: The bag is empty and I'm winning although not by a Bingo-proof margin Further complicating matters is that it's my opponent's turn and he's holding fairly common tiles plus both blanks The somewhat good news for me is that the board is pretty closed down at this point leaving only a single Bingo opportunity that I can see, one that's across the bottom row through a sitting BE Specifically that bottom row looks like this: _ _ _ _ B E _ _ _ _ _ _ _ So there are four empty squares leading up to the BE and seven empties after it Here's the rack: E I N S U ? ? Can you make a Bingo out of this situation? As it was, he/she could not (played the NU somewhere else) and I was able to play my final five tiles on the next turn and go out - but I'm wondering if there's one there to be had that a better player (or even one of you guys) could have found.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 23 2012 08:53 PM Re: The Wonderful World of Bingos

This afternoon I played street Scrabble. They closed off Bedford Ave in Brooklyn and some enterprising hipsters used floor tiles and sidewalk chalk to make an almost-real game. The other team somehow drew 3 (!) blanks -- all viewable in the lower right corner -- and that was the difference in the game. I played for team GAUKDB in the lower photo. We were absolutely kicking ass in creativity and vocabulary but the board got badly choked and we had to eschew a couple of bingos. Still it was fun playing with a big audience and I felt powerful walking over and placing the tiles on the street to let them see what you've done. I was responsible for VEXT/VAT, AQUAS/AAHS/OH, and CAW/CUR/ADORE, the latter playing the R through the disconnected ADO and E. Jaws dropped. I was overruled when my teammates elected to choke off the opposition with EGG on the triple rather than playing the longer word I would have chosen. I strongly recommend you guys play this sometime!

I was way behind Lunchbucket but managed to play DRAGNET as a walk-off bingo. The 72 points for the bingo plus what I got from his leftover tiles still left me 5 points behind. So, looking at this board and knowing I had ADEGNRT on my rack, do you see anywhere I could have played a word that would have earned me five more measly points?

I'm getting back into the Scrabble game...although that means having LWFS and Fman kick my ass again and again and again. Practice makes perfect. Some youse others may be getting challenges from me soon.

I swear I only draw the crappiest tiles versus LWFS while bingos regularly appear on my rack when playing JCL.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jan 07 2013 08:52 AM Re: The Wonderful World of Bingos

FMan just beat me 363-358, ending an historic 12-game winning steak that shot my ELO Rating to a career-high 1662. I squeaked by in a few games but in general am playing stupidly offensive, uptempo games with bingos coming out of my ass.

Fman99 Feb 04 2013 10:16 AM Re: The Wonderful World of Bingos

Hey JCL now that we're both knocked out of the tournament I started a new game against you. And then I went and dropped TAURINE on your monkey ass. Because I'm awesome like that.

metsmarathon Feb 04 2013 10:23 AM Re: The Wonderful World of Bingos

in what i believe is a tournament game, i'm hoping to be SPURRED on to victory against ceetar. in non-tournament action, edgy may need some SALINES to salve his FACELESS self.

Save it for the tourney, jivetalker.

Fman99 Feb 04 2013 10:55 AM Re: The Wonderful World of Bingos

I ended up with another bingo PACKAGED on the A in TAURINE. Went back to back and BELLY TO BELLY!

Mets – Willets Point Feb 04 2013 11:38 AM Re: The Wonderful World of Bingos

In what is actually a vast improvement in my play against LWFS, I dropped UNTRIMS as a walk-off bingo. He still beat me 366-348, but it's nice to be within 20 points instead of another triple-digit loss.

Fman99 Feb 04 2013 08:33 PM Re: The Wonderful World of Bingos

Three bingos in one game is a nice trick. I'm dropping a MEGATON of hurt on JCL in this match.

Fman99 Feb 04 2013 08:50 PM Re: The Wonderful World of Bingos

I suspect JCL is seeing REDLINES after having someone drop four bingos on him in one game.

Fman99 Feb 05 2013 10:20 AM Re: The Wonderful World of Bingos

And of course now that I am knocked out of the CPF tourney I am just swimming in bingos. Opened a game against JCL with three straight -- ERRANDS, YULETIDE and NATIONAL.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Feb 05 2013 09:24 PM Re: The Wonderful World of Bingos

Motherfucker went back to back, belly to belly with 4 bingo games on me, racking up 486 points exactly in each game.

Mets – Willets Point Feb 19 2013 03:53 PM Re: The Wonderful World of Bingos

In an event hailed as the most unlikely victory since the Generals beat the Globetrotters, I was able to notch a HUGE victory against LWFS with the help of three bingos: ZINGIEST (104), ENTRAIN (73), and AURICLE (74).

Edgy MD Feb 19 2013 03:55 PM Re: The Wonderful World of Bingos

ZINGIEST --- only slightly less likely a bingo than LAKIEST, which I really should have been dinged for.

Edgy MD Feb 19 2013 04:23 PM Re: The Wonderful World of Bingos

I totally got lucky. I was asked to use it in a sentence and wrote, "Northern Minnesota is the LAKIEST region of the country." Anyhow, it's not like anybody ever plays a phony and passes their turn when playing against me.

Mets – Willets Point Mar 08 2013 01:35 PM Re: The Wonderful World of Bingos

I played three straight bingos against Lunchbucket. One was a walk-off in game that he won by a large margin anyway. Then I played two straight bingos to start the rematch. Lunchy, however, has also played two bingos in this game and we've only completed three rounds. Dare I say, it's a BINGO WAR!!!

John Cougar Lunchbucket Mar 08 2013 01:41 PM Re: The Wonderful World of Bingos

I spent 20 minutes pissed I couldn't find a hook for GUARDED when I finally saw UPGRADED. Also there: EDIFIERS, OILSKINS, BAILORS. I think I have one in my rack now too.

what a game!

Edgy MD Mar 10 2013 02:35 PM Re: The Wonderful World of Bingos

There is scarcely a bad word there. Was THE played with only HE and ED or did ye get points for HEX as well? YE and PACA are modest scorers but they get the job done without taking a punch. My only gripe is to end the game with a jive word like FASH --- which i assume is some slang for 'fashion' that nobody has uttered since 1966, and will be dropped from the dictionary by the next update.

Edgy MD Mar 10 2013 02:42 PM Re: The Wonderful World of Bingos

Did it take you a while to find OILSKINS? That's a nice compound word. I would have focused on KINGSFOIL and, if I found a spot for it, probably played it before realizing it only exists as a word in Middle Earth.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Mar 10 2013 03:05 PM Re: The Wonderful World of Bingos

I first saw SKINOIL but figured that wasn't good. KINGSFOIL never occurred to me. Brilliant use of excess I's in this game.

TRIDUUMS for 90 points. I've grown increasingly estranged from the Catholic church in recent years, but I will be grateful for the oddly-spelled words that have helped me in Scrabble.

Frayed Knot Jul 24 2013 09:14 PM Re: The Wonderful World of Bingos

Just cuz And speaking of cuz, get ready to add CUZ along with the likes of GI and IXNAY (and likely a bunch of others) to your roster of legal words as the 5th edition of the SCRABBLE dictionary is being prepared. Not sure if CUZ is short/slang for because or for cousin, or (most likely in my opinion) either/or because the real reason to include so it'll give players a new option to burn off tough to use and high scoring letters.

seawolf17 Jul 25 2013 08:26 AM Re: The Wonderful World of Bingos

I'm okay with adding words -- it makes the game more interesting -- but you've got to decrease the value of those tiles a bit, then. The whole game now sometimes comes down to who plays QI or ZA first.

Mets – Willets Point Jul 25 2013 08:40 AM Re: The Wonderful World of Bingos

I'm pretty sure Shakespeare used CUZ for cousin.

Edgy MD Jul 25 2013 01:56 PM Re: The Wonderful World of Bingos

I'll say it, though. For something that appears two games out of three, ZA is a pretty weak-assed excuse for a word. It's a (little used) slang abbreviation that is properly expressed, if it must be expressed at all, with an apostrophe.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 25 2013 01:58 PM Re: The Wonderful World of Bingos

I assume GI is in honor of famed Scrabble Jock G.I. Joel. If you're playing me it's your turn goddmanit.

I'm positive that the powers at be are searching high and low for 2-letter words containing either a V or a C that they can remotely pass off as legit as currently those are the only two letters that can't be used in a two-letter word.

seawolf17 wrote: But they're juicing the ball, basically. The other thing it does, at least in a number of cases, is that it increases conservative play. Throwing in ZA, QI, KI to the already existing JO, XI, and XU for the purposes of pumping up scores tends to make people fearful that leaving a vowel adjacent to a bonus square is practically akin to tipping over your king in chess. So they opt for lower-risk, three-letter "ladder" moves instead and pretty soon you've got a clogged and boring board.

In fact, I spent the extra five bucks to track stats. And yes, there's a review moves feature as well; not sure if it was paid or not. The only things I agree with you on are 8 and 10.
