On Facebook Scrabble, I played WRENCHED through VISE, using SKI to make SKID. 99 points- my personal best Scrabble play ever.

I love other people's cool plays too. I don't play to win (although I hate to lose by 200 points because that is just no fun all around, and that happens with my friend whom I have reason to believe is cheating). I like the joy of good play.

Who else likes these games? Anyone else want to share their proud moments?

I love to play Scrabble and didn't know Facebook had that application. I'll have to check it out. Right now I just play a Hasbro computer game version. I can beat it about half of the time on advanced level but I'm no whiz. I know I've gotten over 100 points on one play but I don't remember the word. When we were kids we used to play it so much we would come up with weird variations to amuse ourselves. One of them was nonsense words. You had to be able to pronounce it and come up with a definition immediately. I also love crossword puzzles. Did you ever have the experience of not knowing the answer and then a voice in your head telling you the answer and it's a word you've only heard once or twice? I mean it just pops in your head. :)

I played online Scrabble yesterday at www.quadplex.com. I got two bonuses in the game before it was even halfway through. I played TRAILERS off another word that ended in T, then RAINOUT with the final T making TORT. After I played RAINOUT my opponent gave up despite having done well with a bonus of their own. Dang.

Bonuses are the part of my game that needs work and I'd only ever got one bonus before. So to get two in an aborted game was amazing. I've also never got as many as 99 points in one play.

There's an online irc Scrabble version but the Facebook app is really good. They upgraded it so it loads a lot faster than it used to. I always have multiple Scrabble and Lexulous Facebook games going (and now someone got me hooked on Word Twist too, dang!)

News of another awesome Scrabble play, as well as a personal best, in a game I've just finished (or rather the other person finished by giving up).

Played TOILETTE through FRONTED - 64 points.

Then, with the T and O of TOILETTE, I played ZAX making ZAX, TA and OX - 58 points.

Then, used my opponent's ZO to make ZOO and ORIGANE - 116 points.

At that point, obviously I was playing against a bad loser as they gave up.

I play an offline Scrabble game from Yahoo. It has an AI character called Maven, it's very addicting. I've been playing Scrabble since I was knee high to a grasshopper. I actually uploaded a game I played to YouTube.....

Nothing feels better than floggin Maven's butt. :lol:

My best rack ever was F**KERS when I used to play Scrabbulous. I took a screenshot of it. Unfortunately there was no hook...I wonder if it would have even let me play that word?

I spelled "Squirrels" can't remember the other word but it took up 2 triple words.

Long time ago.

Oh, that is sweet!
I got a double-double in Lexulous, and then I was PO'd that Lexulous doesn't reward that like Scrabble does. I kind of like Lexulous better. You get an extra letter.

ENJOYING (N was on the board) - 2 triple word boxes and a double letter box = 252 points

It's spelled xenophobic.
I <3 the Q-without-U words, especially SUQ because it is so useless: it has a U, just before the Q, and could potentially waste a perfectly good S.

I wouldn't want to waste a good S either.
