Z word extensions

Here's the scenario. Your opponent has just opened the game with ZONES, scoring 48 points with the Z on the DLS. Ouch, you might say. You look at your rack and it doesn't look too promising: ABCLUSV.

But then something brings you back to your favorite Italian eatery and you lay down the CAL on the TWS to form CALZONES for 57.

Thanks to Allan White's page, AKA the Scrabble Raider, for this neat, short list of Z words, 5s to make 8s.

So using the list and returning to the opening scenario, you might see that you have another option.
