Very chortlesome!

As for the London Underground, it's unbelievable the number of questions that pop up about it. I don't know anything about Shakespeare plays either, but I don't mind when a question comes about them.... when was the last time anyone got a question about Glasgow Underground stations?

Anyway. Rant over. No idea of the answer. I'll guess...

ey up stinkers!! got a faaaaar better challenge than all this rubbish (dont know if its ever been done before). Been playing scrabulous as many of us do, on challenge mode.

Challenge; what is the most points you can make laying 7 letters on a scrabble board? the letters do NOT have to make any real words.

a) Post your solution
b) State how many points you believe it to be worth!

ps: ...scrabbulous won't let you play a word that goes into four figures

any one up to the challenge?

How rude

To answer UP's question, is it Tomorrow's World?

And to answer Northern Monkey's question, are there letters in place already? Do they go on the trebles? I take it you use all the highest scoring tiles?

I remember a while back I saw somebody's solution for the highest ever move. It made (in 1 turn), the words BENZOXYCAMPHORS, SQUANDERMANIAC, JITTERBUGGERY and quite a few others which I can't remember.

Im not Northern Monkey!

I do not have an aswer for this, it was a challenge with no defined solution as of yet. but yes! I would assume ALL other letters are in place and that yes, you would save ALL the highest scoring letters for the final 'word'! get cracking, I found the attached (ok, so i made it) which might help.

Back on The Pseud's question, I'm assuming it's Noel Edmonds, so I'll go for... House Party.

Sorry, theoak. I'm getting too old for this. This is a young person's game etc.

You could either change the name of the attachment to one that is permitted, or you could put it on a site such as putstuff.com - and then post the link to it.

If I do work out some monster score, how do I go about displaying it? I tried using Scrabulous but it didn't work.
