>But you can play wildcard in Scrabble, right? well, not according to the '78 edition of OSPD -- I don't have the new 3rd ed. hey! here's a cool site. it searches the 2nd and 3rd editions of the OSPD and reports on your search word; e.g., "wildcard" Results: OSPD Second Edition: No OSPD Third Edition: No http://www.logophilia.com/scrabble/but why do you care, Scrabble being a stupid game and all?

I don't know why I do care about the stupid game. though I do and it's a Great Secret.It's a leitmotif in my stupid brain, I suppose.
But I think the stupidest thing of all is the OSPD. It should at least show wild card and wildcard. It's as though they're trying to constipate the spelling creativity of word lovers.

Can't recall scores, Consuelo. It's been a long time and I've been so excited contemplating playing it again in Michigan--though I don't like the required dictionary.
Which dictionary did you use when you scored over 400 points, by the way?

We used the Official Scrabble Dictionary. It was a case of Premium Worditis and places to put them. Not only that, I think I drew all the high count tiles. A once in a lifetime score of 436. Kind of like a hole in one, I'd say. One part skill to three parts luck  .

Haven't done that badly since I can't remember when. Sorry, tsuwm, I guess the Scrabble gods like me.
