Welcome to Week 6 of the One Sorry Blog Sunday Scrabble Sweepstakes! Enter the Sunday Scrabble Sweepstakes every week and win. Playing is as easy as 1-2-3.
1. Check out the above snapshots of a board and rack from an actual Scrabble game, different each week.
2. Make the highest scoring word that you can.
3. Leave a Comment describing your move. (Be sure not to read other Comments until you’re ready to leave your own.)
Your score is the total number of points your word would earn in a regulation Scrabble game, plus a possible bonus of 10 style points if you play a word that One Sorry Blog has never heard of, or 5 for playing a word that goes through two letters, or 5 for an otherwise stylish move. An example of a word earning the 10 style-point bonus is OXTER, a word unknown to One Sorry Blog before Mary Nisbet of the Goleta foothills played it in the the precursor to the One Sorry Blog Sunday Scrabble Sweepstakes, the Scrabble Happy Hour at Elsie’s.

The contestant with the most style points each week will be that week’s style winner.

Thanks, Clarita. I think I can top it though.
RUSTLERS, across the R in ROPE, also making SHARP. Both blanks are S.
Total = 72

What a board - bingos everywhere!
D-7 TEaRfUL & TROPE: (6 x 2 + 7) + 50 = 69
15-A sTRUdELS: (7 x 3) + 50 = 71
E-1 TURtLERs & sHARP: (6 x 2 + 9) + 50 = 71
Trope, strudels, and turtlers may be style-worthy!

Week 6 Results:
1. Scrabble Granny - 71 for TURtLERs plus 10 style points. Total 81 points. We can guess at what a turtler might be, but we can’t honestly say we’ve ever heard of such a thing.
2. Jon Eccels - 71 for RUsTLERs.
3 (tie). JosyC, clarita and Paul - 68.
Look for Week 7 up shortly, and a comment there describing how many times everyone has won. Thanks for playing and tell your friends that you want a piece of them in the One Sorry Blog Sunday Scrabble Sweepstakes.

“quilters” bottom left corner going across. 17 points x 3 + 50 = 101

vultures/gazes (71)
I like all the blanks you give us…makes bingos more of a reality. Seems like it’s been pretty rare for me in actual game play…though the last game I played online this past weekend I added “antlers” onto something for a triple word…was pretty decent.
