This probably won't ever happen again...

At club last night, I had an unusual situation come up: my opponent made a parallel play that accidentally formed the phoney UA*, and I somehow didn't see it. I was down later in the game thanks to two consecutive bingos on her part, and was able to come up with a cool setup, leading to a win. See if you can spot it:

Found Extension of the Day: EFGOOOOST

Some person in the town I work in has put up little stickers around town saying 'you can eat dandelions', and I think this is their work:



GOOSEFOOT can be extended from GO, GOO, OS, OSE, EF, OOT, or FOOT.

Pronounced with a Swedish accent, I believe, but still cool...

Things I learned at club this week

1. There is only one 6 that fits this pattern: ???DEY

2. There are a LOT of 6's that fit this one: ?????U

3. KATES* is not a word, you dope. (held, didn't challenge. and I knew KATE wasn't good, but inexplicably chickened out.)

4. There is a bingo in ELSSTT? through EN.

5. When there is a K above a TWS, you need to try harder to find 4 letter K words, even if your rack is full of crap. (KIWI, KAMI, KAGU...)
