New words coming soon!

For those of you who haven't heard, the long awaited update to the scrabble dictionary is coming... To be released at the national scrabble championship in August: http://www.scrabbleplayers.org/w/2014_National_SCRABBLE_Championship

I haven't been posting on here much, but it's possible that having a new set of words to study will be good incentive to do so! Stay tuned.

Things I learned at club tonight

Had one good game and one bad game. So here's what I leaned from the bad one: 

1. Just because there's three of one consonant in a rack doesn't mean you should not look for a bingo. (EIRSTTT, duh)

2. RITZES is good. Failing to play this set off a sequence of horrible racks. 

3. LIBATING* is a phony. (Challenged off)

4. MISTOLD* is also a phony. (Not challenged) 

5. When checking a play upside down, pay attention to the 2 letter words. (I checked and still missed IM*)

6. If you can't play RETRIAL, look for an A to start with.

Missed triple triple

ACDELOPS, had ADELPS? With a C on the board. Definition: a subdivision of the zonal soil order. 

Front hook

NEATEN. Totally obvious but didn't think about a U.

Found word OTD: ILOPRY

I think I knew ROPILY but not the other. Found when auto correct changed 'private' typed badly into this word...
