Spectrum Computing

yeah the board's a bit clogged up

BEDS / DEX was ok btw. Dex = short for a drug. I'll try to use upper case now.

Zarm / Rif / Moi ? Rif should be ok. Zarm no idea.

Also BEDS / DEX. I was thinking along DEX as abbrev for dexterity, but it's probably not allowed.
Or CERS / REX maybe?
CREW opens up too much imo.

What about Neds / Dex ? If Ned is a noun, no idea if it is.
Or Dens / Nex.
CPU is probably keen on that spot anyway.

Looks like it's time to get rid of consonants. You were lucky to get a vowel back.

Ibn = arabic son, also used in a surname or title

My chrome doesn't have spellchecking.
What about Xin/Nag? No idea if Xin is valid though. Could be played after Ew/Ex/Xi.

Ibn / Bag

maybe Ew/Ex/Xi first, then Ibn/Bag ? nvm

I'm not used to play Scrabble. Just hanging around so to say.

Fahrt is valid German, means drive (subst)

my idea is Brew across Swiz
If you want to go on in the evening, no probs.

Fahr zeug
correct translation would be perhaps drive-thingy

Just watched it in German. Translation is right, Luftkissenfahrzeug voller Aale.
I was mistaking a news report about military hovercrafts that was aired back in the days in Germany probably for a Monty Python episode. They were driving that thing through all sorts of terrains, marsh, small rivers etc.

Can't you play Fault and add the S later? This should give a few decent points.

I remember watching the episode with the Hovercraft as a kid (not very amused though). Wasn't it a mockery of the British army for testing their 'combat' hovercrafts for the Falkland war?

Have you played German version of scrabble as well? I heard that lets you have 8 tiles on your rack (obvs the letter distribution and points per letter will change a lot, Z is probably worth 1 or something lol, presumably Y is worth 10?). I guess there's no umlaut letters or sharp-S either? Does th...

Not sure if AGIO is valid, so it's a risk. I think FAG and FLAX or FLUX or one of the triples on right side is the play. I think TOS is ok (tos and fros?) don't think FLUXS or FLAXS is though. Not 100% on TOS either. TO takes T and ER takes A or S on right hand side. Agio is a financial term, Itali...

I'd want more points for an S than that though I think. I want to play either FLAX, FLUX or take out one of the triple word scores on the right.

Right, I thought Xus is ok.
Za / Agio then, maybe.

Maybe Stag, then cross with Xus. If Stag is valid.

CPU is now 100+ short. Interesting to see if this is going to beat the previous score.
I'm occasionally off now.

Yeah Za/Ag and then maybe Stag on it, if it's valid though.
But I suspect it's closing the Ag somehow.

Nice move.
I think Zag is valid.

btw Fret was valid but not Fel
Yeah, great rack but board's a bit messy.

What about Bret, Fret, Treb? Anything valid?
Vibe would open up the triple, not so good.

Thx. The rack looks like you could get a Bingo, if you're careful.
Problem is the words are all lumped together at the moment.

So it's used up 2 'E's. How many vowels are in play?

Ok, sure. And Jetbike sounds unfamiliar to me btw.

Shouldn't it count 59? 3x 9 + 3x 10 + 2 (EL). I'm no Scrabble player btw. Just unsure.
