My rack: DEEHINS, trailing 278-308. Lexicon is NWL23.

My opponent played SOArING/(LICE)S*, which I challenged off. So I know that the tiles IJOOTUV are in the bag.

What is the correct move (if any) and why?

It may help that my opponent is an upper beginner/intermediate player. She knows her 2s and 3s and can generally find common-word bingos pretty easily but doesn't study beyond that.

This was a casual game that I played earlier, so I am not asking for help on my next move or anything like that.

In the recently concluded african scrabble championship, Nigeria won again (now, the 15th of the 16 editions of the competition)

Abdulmumin Jimoh ended up as the new African Scrabble Champion. He finished with 23 wins, the same as fellow Nigerian George Ezinore, but his far superior spread (+1,760) guarantied the title. Emmanuel Umujose finished third to give Nigeria an all-Nigerian top three!

Nigeria was also awarded Best Country.

C was the last tile not played

I have reviewed the sticky thread and note that feedback on an already-completed game is permitted. May I seek enlightenment?

CHUNTER and SHUNTER are both valid words (apparently). SNIP also looks promising.

LIGNINS would be neat, but there's no place to put it.

Hitting the triple-word score with a letter ending in F would be primo. But what?

Where to play against real humans? Those bots are terrible at French scrabble

Softish was my only bingo

My dad and I decided to pull out the Scrabble board for the first time in years. I played just the letter "X" on the double letter?

How many points does this score? We cannot agree on how it should be

Anyone here following this tournament? Apparently, only seven of the 24 countries expected showed up in Liberia. Several countries reportedly pulled out at the last minute, but the reasons for this are still unclear

On the standings, we're 16 rounds in, and Ghana's Charles Tachie is currently leading with 13 wins. Nigeria's Ezinore George and Sophia Ekeruche are in 2nd and 3rd place, respectively, with 12 wins each

Nigeria is doing pretty well, with seven players currently in the top 10. The final is scheduled for tomorrow - sunday, october 25

Joined this sub not too long ago but my love and gratification I’ve found from this game for the past 4+ years is unmatched. I mostly play online, but I want to join a group/ club and eventually play in tournaments. Honestly just curious if this is something to be proud of or if I’m mediocre

I hate that this is my top word. Wish I could score something with a higher value

My friend and I probably went a bit overboard with the parallel words. We were out of time though so we couldn't play anymore but what could you even do from here to make this playable?

The word brow was on the board, and “don” was played, the d, o and n. Is that a legal play?

33M. Started playing Scrabble only a few months ago (on Go scrabble app). How’s my progress?

I’d appreciate any tips/advice to improve my game.
