Stats for September 25, 2024

1st Charles Reinke's word wizardry transformed all his opponents into finely-ground piles of mincemeat as he went 5-0 +606. He began with a successful two-on-one excursion against Richard Lauder and Helen Flores, winning those game 464-315 and 470-319, respectively. All of Charles' wins were by margins of 100 or more, except his round two game versus Thomas Reinke, which he won by a "mere" 43 points, 466-423. He got down EROTISE#, STROLLER, and the stylish CAPRIFIG, while Thomas had TRIPLIED# and the less-stylish-but-still-somewhat-stylish EIGHTVOS. After defeating Mark Kenas 439-329 in round three, Charles finished with an immediate rematch against Mark which was even more tilted in Charles' favor, 544-391. Charles put on a display of high-probability sevens in those two games as he found TEASING, EROSION, SMARTER, OBLASTI, and NATTIER.

2nd Thomas Reinke finished 4-1 with a lofty 484 per-game average. Round one saw Thomas extend his winning streak against Mark Kenas to five games, thanks to a three-bingo assault (SALTERN, VASTITY, TROPHIED) that resulted in a 493-362 win. Playing an all-Collins two-on-one match, Thomas turned that winning streak into six games with a close 461-451 win against Mark, but sadly dropped the other game to Charles Reinke, 423-466. Against Bryan Benwitz in round three, Thomas rudely hogged all the bingos for himself, playing five of them (to Bryan's zero): POLLEES, FERMATA, GROUTIER, LACTONIC (out of ACILNOT, which makes a newly-acceptable word, ALTCOIN), and RIVETERS. Of course, the end result was a victory for Thomas, 555-389. Thomas ended the night with a flourish, beating Sara McLaughlin 487-291, finding RESALUTE and YEELINS to pad out his very bingoey list of bingos (BINGOEY* is not a word - play OBEYING or BIOGENY instead).

3rd Richard Lauder went 3-1 for the second-straight week, this time with a +93 spread. Richard suffered a substantial setback in the first game of the night when he was felled by charles Reinke, 315-464, despite a find of SONDERS (Charles had OVERATE and SETTLING). A bout against Sara McLaughlin was more fruitful, as Richard took the win 380-301, getting GUNITES and the very common phony of SOILERS* (the two legitimate words in EILORSS are tough to spot - RISSOLE and LORISES). Richard's best game was against Dennis Lloyd, 459-318; a triad of rack-clearing plays (SCANTER, EQUATOR, PERVERT) buried any attempt at a comeback that Dennis may have planned. Facing off against Bryan Benwitz in round four, Richard rose to the challenge and prevailed in a close game, 427-405, again thanks to a fine assortment of three bingos: DEMISTS, TONSILAR, and SINGLES.

Sara's RATFINKS, played in a 347-302 win against Bryan, was word of the week.
