Last week, Judy H. made a 10-letter ReTAILORED by extending RED.
This great bingo scored only 62 points. The longest word ever played
in this club had 11 letters. There have been 10- and 11-letter words
played several times. See the club stats page on the web.
A small error in last week's report on the Brattleboro tourney: The only
8-player division was C (not B). The other divisions each had 6 players.
At the recent 19-game tourney in Atlantic City, NJ:
In 20-player Div. 1: Brad W. was 2nd, 2 games behind winner Jan Cardia
In 22-player Div. 2: Judy C. was 9th
In 26-player Div. 3: Betsey was in the lower half
FLOUR+SAC makes one 8-letter uncommon word and four somewhat uncommon
7-letter words.
An obscure word can be formed from NIL+CLUE;
your first guess is likely to be wrong.
Here are some more 7-letter groups with bingos:
SASS+PIE
PIXY+AID
I+WOLFED
POCONOS
MAD+DOGS
