    @roymccoy Sparks said I was being a blah blah blah. You then said I am a blah blah blah.

    I think you should be appreciative of the idea of noting the max score both before and after your move (unless you were already doing that), rather than unfairly accusing me of making an assertion that I didn't.

      @roymccoy Fair enough. I guess I took it the wrong way.

      BTW, nice post. And 'score thermometer' is a nice way of putting it.

        No, you took it the right way, ha ha.

        Don't mind me, I'm just fooling around and enjoying myself... sometimes at the expense of innocent parties! (Among the latter are not included, however, the Lexulous administrators, who merit perpetual scorn and abuse.)

          Here's another interesting play. It's at the end of the game and I'm going to win regardless, but the game is now like a crossword, sudoku or cryptogram, calling for the solution of a puzzle.

          00acaf59-ffe1-4ab2-9c16-2c342f82568a-image.png

          My three calculated max scores are 90 even and 90.9 before my opponent's last move (BENT), and 91.7 after. This suggests that a figure like 91.7 will not round up if there's a score below 91.0, but will round down to the in-between figure. In any event 91, which I think it will be, is a large score and will ordinarily be obtainable only with a triple. The lack of a significant change in the max score indicates that it's still in the same place, and it couldn't be at the upper left anyway since no tile, even the blank, works with BENT. As neither the lower-left nor lower-right triple is available, that leaves only the upper right. A 1-point letter on the 2L yields 88, the 2-point T 91, and the 4-point C 97. So it has to be a 7-tile bingo triple with the T on the 2L.

          My work, then, is cut out for me. Uh...

          ASSTICLY, lol.

          Who can get this? I won't come back till I've found it or given up. Good luck. No cheating!

                I think you would have had some trouble playing either of the last two.
