This position came up today. I came up with a 101 point play. Can you find it? My rack is shown at the top: ABILOPR.
If you click on the link below you will find the answer.
The answer is BIPOLAR on O7 for 101 points, which also forms MACER and FA.
Posted by Mike Waugh at October 1, 2004 11:14 PM | TrackBackWhoo hoo! I got it in under two minutes. Once you figure out the sweet spot and which letters work off the F and the MACE, just work your way backwards. Nice bingo.
More importantly though, was that REVETTED your opponent played a first-turn bingo? It looks like you played NUKE or UKE first. Was the response ReVET or ReVETTED?
Posted by: Robert, Waugh the Younger at October 2, 2004 07:12 PMMy first rack was EGIKOSU. I opened with UKE. It took my opponent 9 seconds to come up with REVETTED. Then I played GAIN. Then my opponent put down GLEANER, hooking the A on GAIN which was very nice. So at the end of 2 rounds I was down 32 to 137.
Although I went up 351 to 322 after playing BIPOLAR, I got three I's on my next rack (ABIIIGN). I ended up losing the game by 11 points.
P.S. The computer has just informed me that I could have bingoed immediately after BIPOLAR by playing ALIBIING on C3.
