Welcome to Week 9 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. Style points are also occasionally awarded for otherwise stylish moves. 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 highest scoring word each week will be that week’s One Sorry Blog Sunday Scrabble Sweepstakes winner. Winners will receive mad props a free subscription to One Sorry Blog by RSS feed or email. Good luck!

Last week’s results (total first place finishes in parentheses):
1. Jon Eccles (5) - 91 for PROSING plus 10 style points for knowing PROSE was also a verb, for a total of 101. If I’m not mistaken, 101 points is a Sunday Scrabble Sweepstakes record.
2. Scrabble Granny (4) and Paul (1) - 86 for SPORING.

Bottom line -
DA and AGONIES
Total = 75 points

M-2: STEARINE + SAT + TI for 9 x 2 + 4 = 22
15-B: TEOPANS + RE + DO for 7 x 3 + 6 = 27
Both are very stylish!? Miserable rack - I would prefer to trade my tiles.
I left Week 7 with our leader at Monday Scrabble - but I had to leave early, so I don’t know how she followed up. You’re both well-remembered there.

AGONIES was mine as well. Nice one, Jon.

AGONIES was mine as well. Nice one, Jon. And thanks, Granny, for passing our Sunday Scrabble on to those at the Monday group in Santa Barbara.

Week 9 results: Looks like Scrabble Granny takes it with TEOPANS, which in the Sunday Scrabble Sweepstakes is worth 77 plus 10 style points, for a total of 87. Both Jon and Granny have now won five times.
