UVSC Session Report
May 14, 2018 (Session #180)
(authored by BJ)

Suppose you have JACKS in the middle row of the board, at position 8F.
A four-letter extension will bring it to the triple word score.  There
are a number of words (mostly TWL) that will fit.  In one of our games
this week Mike passed up such an extension, with much difficulty, for a
bingo and a few more points elsewhere.  But not long after that he had
another opportunity and this time scored 69 for JACKSTONE, which was a
different word than the one he'd considered earlier.  Can you think of
any others?

Another notable event that occurred tonight was that Iliana played
SQUIT# ("a small or insignificant person") for a lovely 73 points, and
then outdid herself in the very next game by playing SQUIT# yet again,
this time for 78 points!

Together with Ellen, Margaret, and myself, here are some of the bingos
we found: BORNITES, SILURIAN, ESQUIRES (which was the high bingo of the
session by Ellen for 104), SNOTTER# ("to sob"), TISANES, REPTILIA,
OUTDRIVE, FAULTIER, TWISTIER, NODULAR, ATONIES, INCREATE, UNELATED#,
WEEDINGS#, ATRESIC, STENTOR, TANGLIER, OUTSOAR, RAMPAGE, LAITIES,
ELASTICS, DEADEST, DEAFNESS, and JOURNEY.

Below is an image of bornite, which is an ore of copper.


The answer to last week's question is ...
