My suggestion was that it would be +8 if it lacks both a suffix and a prefix. That's a nice word though  My 69 + 15 unique is... well, I left the slip of paper in my car which now is temporarily abandoned in a parking lot because the tire pretty much went flat without notice. Hah. Edit: I remembered it. STRIPED: 8+13+11+10+10+8+9 = 69 + 15 point unique letter bonus for 84. Some people say camping is boring. I say it's in tents.

Well then, oblique still qualifies, doesn't it?

Yes, oblique does, but torques does not.

I'm sorry. I interpreted that to mean that it did not qualify for the bonus if it was true that it had both a prefix and a suffix, but that it would qualify if it had one and not the other.

Yes. Striped has a suffix and that's why I didn't add 8 points to it.  Some people say camping is boring. I say it's in tents.

isn't there a distinction to be made between a suffix and an inflection of a word?
e.g., I torque, you torque, he torques, we are all torqued
(see, that's the trouble with trib.. er.. rules; you sometimes end up having to define the word "it". :)

Sorry, I haven't got the rules sunk into the concrete that my brain has become. I saw the +15 and didn't go back to look carefully.
