Help! I've tried 102 a whole bunch of times and it's not accepting, if that is not right what is? I've checked the wordfinder site, double checked the scoring and still get to 102, is it higher and if so how?


You just enter the word, not the score.

Just in case anyone's interested, I found a 7-letter word without using any tiles on the board: esurine. "Causing hunger; corroding." Not in the Official Scrabble Dictionary, though. And only worth 87 pts.

Bummer, I was disappointed that this puzzle didn't involve multiple words. I was trying things like a horizontal word between Pairer and Befit that got both double words, it would be worth 120 points for example. After eliminating most options due to 2/3 letter words not doable, I went to the more traditional letter placement.

There is a "Vitil" who has a Flickr account

uhm... i've been awake way to long.

There's a "VITIL" who has an account on Flickr.....

Paris, Madrid and "Swiss" photos. Most have a young lady who appears to be of some Asian descent.


How many degrees of Kevin Bacon, Spam, Spam, Spam, Baked Beans and Spam am I off on this one?

Location: Far Far Away. Nowhere Near You. Really.

Does she have a friend named satoshi?

I kept waiting for her to end up in Kaysersberg. But it's just a series ot trips in europe (Switzerland, Paris, Mont St. Michel, Madrid...). But the wierd thing - 11 pages of pictures, the girl in every one, and not a single picture of the photographer. Not even a reflection of the photographer. Well unless those two group shots outside the Louvre was her travelling companion(s)...but other pics suggest she's travelling with one other person. No comments or labels on anything.

And vitil has a link to one person in his/her profile - chriskaede, whose pictures are ALSO all of the same girl, from last year. German tour. Some of these photos are labelled by location.

Also a little odd - each account has exactly 200 pictures. All uploaded in April 2006, although the archive shows the vitil photos were almost all taken in February, March, April of 2006 and the chriskaede ones over the course of January - September 2005 and a chunk in April 2006.

Perhaps "vitil" has been playing PXC and borrowed the word. Or perhaps it really means something. Or absolutely nothing.

A tad pendantic here...

This is one of those problematic cards for me because there is potentially a different solution for each player.

The solution to: "What is the highest scoring word you can make with these letters?" should be whatever word I make!

However; "What is the highest scoring word that can be made with these letters?" is closer to the intention (but still not entirely satisfactory.)

Thank you for allowing me to vent, as I struggled with this one for a while before heading here to "compare notes".

Oh, and feel free to correct me on my pedantry. Regards.

"You" can be plural as well as singular. Therefore collectively, the highest scoring word that we as a community of puzzle solvers make is the correct answer...

But I enjoyed your rant Laughing

Not strictly related, but pretty cool:

Some random carpenter from Massachusetts scoffs at Tippy's 102. He played a 365-point word en route to a total of 830. Both of these values, plus the two players' total, were records.

closest thing i could find in regards to "vitil" is vitiligo
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitiligo
I dont think it would make any sense to simply use the root, if that even is the root, but maybe someone can draw a connection somewhere.

i dont like fish (*holds hands up*)
