Giant Scrabble is back in EPIC fashion! 

That`s what I was thinking!

Yeah and I even got the rare H hook on it!

Thanks, and indeed!

Nice! Keep it up!

That would've been awesome! The rare triple-quadruple haha

There are many more -ing bingos that could fit there. The bot isn't likely to hit a bingo there, while Mack only needed an N to be in striking distance of a 200+ play. So it might just be a great strategical decision.

That's awesome! Yeah it's so cool to see games end with over 1000 points each

Thanks! Maybe so, I'm confident not bingoing has to be correct but still hard to know exactly what would've happened -- after EVERY it was definitely unwinnable

Thanks, me too!

Yeah that would be super fun, unfortunately I don't think it's supported on either Woogles or Quackle though

I'd love to but I don't think it's supported on either Woogles or Quackle, unfortunately :(

@@mackmeller Get another expert and do it in-person

Someone once stuck their opponent with both Q's in a giant scrabble endgame!!

Thanks! I likely shouldn't have bingoed as I explain in the video, but was still happy to find it for sure -- always tricky with 2 blanks

"Win if you can, lose if you must, but always cheat"

Yeah does sting a bit to lose with over 1000 points though!

That would be quite something! Even 5 minutes on that big a board would be pretty intense

I wish, but I don't think so sadly

Hahaha :)... and yeah agreed, will definitely up the time next go around

That's a very fair question -- operationally I think the biggest drawback is games would take a lot longer, so you'd need to give people more than the 25 min currently allotted for standard tournament games. This would mean less rounds per tournament, which isn't ideal in a game like Scrabble where you want a lot of rounds to even out the luck factor. In terms of the actual gameplay of Giant Scrabble, there's nothing wrong with it per se that makes it a bad candidate for competitive play, though I do think the strategy is significantly different (in particular bingos are devalued relative to scoring plays because of the heavy bonus squares in the middle of the board). So it would require a major overhaul of how players approach the game.

Interesting! If not for the 3 Ys unseen then it's a great idea, or if I were down more I'd almost certainly risk it, but I feel like it's a close enough game I don't need to take that chance (if Hasty hits a huge play with a Y to the quad it's pretty dire at that point), could be convinced otherwise though

That would be fun! Might have to change up the distribution a bit though since then some tiles would be completely unplayable

VARENYKY from the V if it were elsewhere

They are all playable words, at least in Collins, not sure about NWL

Was puzzled by that comment too. Weird

I really enjoyed watching this game. Giant Scrabble is fun..! More of this for sure. Still want to see a modified tile game with maximum number of blanks.. any chance??
