A new record

Following the Scrabble score of 66 reported at reference 1, today I managed 102 with 'marrows', a relatively modest triple word, but taken to dizzy heights by the bonus of 50 for using all my letters. Plus a further bonus of making a plural with the 's'.

Our joint score of 576 for the game was probably a record too. From which we learn that to make 600 you need plenty of luck with high scoring letters on triple words - not having done at all badly in that department on the present occasion.

I shall consult the rules committee as to whether it counts if we play together, which could make a lot of difference, rather than against each other - although they may decline to rule on the grounds that one cannot reliably tell one from another.
