Welcome to Week 12 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!

Yes, I agree. Clammer to Tea, triple word! (Is clammer in the OSPD? I don’t have a copy and internet dictionaries are so loose with their allowances. Downright slutty.)

Should have specified: add the R to TEA and get TEAR. Then you total 102 points.

O-4 CLaMMER: (15×3)+4+50=99
OOPS, sorry Jon. Last week’s entry of “SEQUINS” wasn’t valid on at least 3 count - you’ll figure it out.

calmer/team = 36 (though after seeing the other responses, I should have taken more time and thought of clammer haha!)
