Things I learned at club this week

1. Aside from taking an N and J front hook, APERIES also takes DR- and GR- front extensions.

2. Two new 5's: DICTY (snobbish, adj.) GUTTA (a drop of liquid, takes an E, no S)

3. Two new 6's: QUARTO (a paper size, not sure how I didn't know this hook to QUART)   BRUXED (to grind the teeth, knew BRUX, but not that it was a verb.)

I just dropped in for one game, and I was pretty happy with my play, even though I lost.. I was down 100 points pretty quick as my opponent played two natural bingos, AAEIPRS and HIENSST through an I (I also didn't know there was a bingo without the I), but I clawed my way back to what was nearly a chance to bingo out and win. I was happy that I knew to open a lane at the end and fish at mostly the right times, even though the right tiles didn't come my way. Got her to challenge ADEGMNOT (which I wasn't 100% on myself.)

Play the game here
(note: I switched the player names by accident)

G- rated words

Ran across these in the OSPD, I forget what I was looking up originally. I don't study sixes, so it's cool to find chunk of words to memorize at once. These all happen to have two G's.

GIGLET a playful girl
GOGLET a long-necked jar
GUGLET a goglet

I love me some chemical compounds...

Here's a long list of words that I deleted from the current podcast when it became waaaay too long. Plus I think it's easier to see it written out in this case:

IMINE a chemical compound
IMINO containing an imine (adj- no S)

AMIN (main, mina) amine (takes front hook of G)
AMINE a chemical compound (also takes front hook of G, F)
AMINO containing an amine united with a nonacid radical (adj- no S)
AMNIO  a surgical insertion of a needle into the uterus (takes back hooks N, S)

I unfortunately had to witness my wife getting an AMNIO (full name is amniocentesis) when she was pregnant with our first child. I don't recommend it.

AMMINE (immane) a type of chemical compound
AMMINO pertaining to ammine (adj- no S)

AMMONO containing ammonia (adj- no S)
AMMONIA (takes back hooks C, S)
