Here is a partially completed Scrabble board along with your rack of tiles. Can you use these tiles to make a play that will give you a triple word score? There are at least 8 different plays - one each for the first 24 hours please. Plays so far: YULETIDE DISTRUST ROWDIEST MENTALLY MENSWEAR INDECENT DENTALLY DISTALLY MISTALLY MOLESTED MISTRUST
To waste one second of one's life is a betrayal of one's self. I wonder what's on television...?

Hi Rog. Sorry I should have answered just one word, plus I never played the game. I will abstain from this one.

Can I use the same red square twice? Ex: yuletide ends on a red square, so could I use indecent for 15 H-O?

Remi, if we were actually playing the game of Scrabble you could not use the same square twice but for Rog's puzzle here, yes you can (unless of course I have misunderstood it....)

Lex is quite right, and a nice play, Remi! Lex - three I haven't got in my solution . Two are good solid adverbs (according to dictionary.com), but I think mistally is venturing into whatever the Scrabble equivalent of noodle territory is

I think mistally is venturing into whatever the Scrabble equivalent of noodle territory is Rog, although not particularly authoritative, I found this, and i cannot see why it should not equate to miscount, although I acknowledge that Scrabble is often played by reference to a specified dictionary https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/mistally With less confidence, I also found mainstem.. ...and more solidly, mistrust Of course, at the end of the day I am nought but a semigent suffering from mindrust!

Koala, Lex - you got the two remaining ones on my list Take your point, Lex - I was looking at it as "mistal-ly" rather than "mis-tally"! I hereby promote it into the "legit" list (but you ain't getting away with "mindrust"...)
