[net.games] Scrabble scores

presley@mhuxj.UUCP (11/15/83)

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...
