UVSC Session Report
February 19, 2018 (Session #168)
(authored by BJ)

Ellen, Iliana and I played 12 games this week, and I was pleased when in
one of those games I found a 7-letter word I had just studied the other
day in this rack: AEEPUV? -- especially after initially thinking there
was no possible bingo. It's not such an unusual word I guess, but a
different form of it is much more common. Ellen took a chance on a word
she wasn't sure of, unfortunately for me, because TOONIES is just fine
("a Canadian two-dollar coin") and is a word I am familiar with, having
grown up near the Canadian border. For her part, Iliana also found a
late-game bingo to an S to win with her final rack of ABEGNO? (there are
six possibilities). As for non-bingo plays, the story was all about fun
56-pointers: Ellen got down KEX for that score, Iliana front-hooked LUTZ
with the K in MASKED for the same, and I managed to play FEIJOA by
front-hooking LOOSIES# into FLOOSIES for the same score yet again.

Other bingos included: PERMING, BITCHES, MOLESTED, INSNARES, ETCHINGS,
SOOTING, TAMEINS, ANTIPORN, ETERNALS, ACRIDER, BLUNGES, NEONATES,
UNTENDED, IDOLATER, INVEIGLE, RUSTICAL, FASCIST, ATTONES#, AEROTONE#,
LOOSIES#, FOOTIER, ERASION and ... UPHEAVE and BEGONIAS.

Below is a TOONIE (also TWOONIE or TWONIE#). The coin got this nickname
as a rhyme of LOONIE, the nickname for the Canadian one-dollar coin,
which has an image of a loon (bird) on it.
