Last night we were playing Scrabble by candlelight* thanks to a power outage, and shortly after having learned the term "bingo" I scored my first ever bingo. The word was "students." Then on my very next play I got a second bingo with the word "salients."

In my circle of Scrabble players, we refer to it as a premium word. I remember fondly my favorite one. I covered two triple word scores and went out with the word "friendly" to end the game

Yes, wofa, I've heard about it and read about it. It sounds absolutely wonderful, and I ran like heck away from it: I waste far too much time already!
