The May 83 issue of **Word Ways** has an article on high scores in a single turn of Scrabble(R) Crossword Game ["N-Tile Scrabble Records"]. The scores achieved by the author are: #Tiles 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Points 231 498 978 1247 1497 1729 1794 The positions were all legal and could be achieved in a legal game, albeit unlikely. What are the highest single turn scores you've ever seen in a *REAL* game?

The highest score I ever got was in response to a challenge by GAMES magazine. In one of their board layouts (very probable looking, I might add), I got 193 with 4 tiles. Lord knows what words I created though, its been a year or so... -Dan Klein, Mellon Institute, Pitsburgh
