The Wife likes 9-tile scrabble. This morning, she got three 50-point bonuses in a row. It’s hard to come back from that, but I made a go of it.
Each turn’s score is on the left; running totals are on the right. She wound up winning by 33 points but I came back from being down by 161 points (after her triple-word score for “lodges” and “stove”).
