    Here's an interesting problem. I got the rack ?ABEEENT and immediately saw BANTERED for 84. The score thermometer, however, indicated that a 112-point word was possible, the even 75% indicating that this would be the exact score. The only place where a 112-point word seems possible is the top middle triple using the Q and T on the board and the B and T in the rack. Can anyone get this? I gave up and played BANTERED.

      Interesting problem. Man...the type of game you play is so different from mine, it's almost incomprehensible.

        It just now occurred to me that [deleted crossword-solver URL] might give me the answer to this... 9-letter word, 4th letter Q, 8th letter T... BANQUETTE. I didn't know the word, but I should have gotten it anyway. I never use an aid like this while playing, but both my opponent and I will after we've already played.

          @roymccoy I don't even want to know that such sites exist.
