Those of you who follow my blog know by now that my husband and I are Scrabble addictions.

Confessions of a Scrabble Addict!

We have kept a record of our scores since 2008. Equally matched in skill, we usually remain only one or two games ahead of the other one.

Recently, however I seemed to be on a winning streak. As I was leading with four games ahead of my husband, he began to get nervous. If I got too big a lead it would be hard to catch up with me.

So when we sat down to play this week, he informed me he was out for revenge.

Boy did he get it!

For those of you who are not Scabble fans, you get seven letter tiles to make your words. If you can use all seven of the tiles in one word you get not only the actual points of the word you made, but an extra 50 bonus points.

He began the game by using all seven tiles and starting off with 50 bonus points. No big deal I thought. That early in the game I had plenty of time to catch up. But he did not stop there. Of the first six words he made, five were made using all seven tiles. Now he had 250 bonus points.

And the rest of the game was all in his favor! He not only won the game – he beat me by over 200 points.

Still, considering he had 250 bonus points I think I did okay.

Now he only has to win the next three games to be equal with me again.

Don’t think I am going to sit idly by and let that happen.
