I spent the last weekend at Taylor’s College for an inter-college Scrabble competition. This one is way more competitive than the other one in which I one a silver for. WAY more.

Check out my full statistics here.

It’s kinda funny how I fared in that competition. Against a national-rank 82 player I scored an awesome 371 but she won with a whopping 529. I lost to a skilled newcomer by 100 and he doesn’t even know how to spell ‘crescent’. Martin Teo and Ng Peng Sang, whom I lost badly to, both speak Mandarin as mother tongue and are in the top 100 national rank. My arse hurts from all the kicking and whooping.

But here’s a picture of a real good game I had against another newcomer.

He could have won by just a bit with his Bingo “UNPIECED”. But for some reason, that word isn’t accepted in the SOWPODS dictionary we were using that day. It sounds a lot like a word, I almost accepted it. But if I did not challenge it, I would have lost. In honour of his attempt, I left his next finishing word “UNEPIC” unchallenged. There was no such word either. I think I regretted that, for my spread could be higher. I DEEPLY regretted not challenging Martin Teo’s word “FIXTS”, which I thought was valid because I challenged “FIXT”. Dannggg…

Scrabbling is fun! I want more competitions!! If any of you want to challenge me on isc.ro, my handle is Androfire.
