Yay, first for a while.

What are (apparantly) known as "witches knickers" in Ireland and "white pollution" in China?

You have to work out the final score yourself, then do a screen grab or post this:

can someone confirm that using 3x triple squares means score x27? or is it score times 9?

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.

Nothin to do with me chief.

In answer to the Ireland/ China thing, complete guess I will go for mushrooms?

I make 2893 Cardinal, see if you can better it (or anyone else if you are interested)

this score assumes 3x triple word IS x27 word score...

Not mushrooms.

Hmmm. I get 2892 ( it is * 27 i think)

I think I've maybe forgotton to carry a 1 somewhere along the line...

Gimme a tick

maybe it is I that cannot count.

oooh, ive got 2918 now

Cardinal Sin · Post by **Cardinal Sin** » Thu Nov 01, 2007 2:51 pm

Oh well. We're both close enough. Honour is satisfied.

Is the answer fog / mist / low clouds?

i've got 2986 with one tile and the blanks still in the bag.

bit on the Q, could it be fog?

bastard! why would you have a tile left though? Post your solution, put a different colour for the last 7 tiles you lay.

Ah. Fooknots. I see how you can make it bigger.

Though I can't see why you would have a tile leftover. Unless you were trying to show off of course

Istenem · Post by **Istenem** » Thu Nov 01, 2007 3:14 pm

for some reason i can't save flipped horizontal so you'll have to do that for yourself.

Cardinal Sin · Post by **Cardinal Sin** » Thu Nov 01, 2007 3:18 pm

How the blinking fook are you supposed to tell what is going on with that?

Here is my 2924. I didn't use the blanks.

Perhaps im being dense, but I cant see the flaw in my 2918

sue denim please correct this where appropriate:
