Swinging Scrabble
Alrighty. More fun with Scrabble. This time, we're using the Swing of the Quad Cities (who have one of the prettiest settings for a ballpark I've ever seen). I analyzed the frequency of letters in the roster (really) and have allotted the following number of tiles for each letter:
Plus two blanks. Here are the rules, but you can use as many letters as you like, so there's no bonus for using 7 "tiles". Again, the prize is a game from 2005.
There are lots of great names with crazy spellings.
redbirdbrain has 129 points, Bruce has 48, DanUp has 42, the Iron_Throne has 195.
No more "a," "d," "i," "k," "m," "p," "v," "w," "x," "y," "z"
A= | 9 | B= | 2 | C= | 7 | D= | 3 | E= | 11 | F= | 1 | G= | 1 | H= | 4 | I= | 6 | J= | 2 | K= | 4 | L= | 6 | M= | 7 |
N= | 6 | O= | 4 | P= | 2 | Q= | 0 | R= | 6 | S= | 6 | T= | 4 | U= | 2 | V= | 1 | W= | 1 | X= | 1 | Y= | 3 | Z= | 2 |
