Uk Open - Day 3

Day 3 didn't bring anything new for me. The same consistent mediocrity. In the morning, Martin Harrison played a nine timer against me: HERBLESS for 181 points. The game against Phil Robertshaw really made my day. Phil was almost 200 points behind but he caught up and reduced the spread to 100 points. He was holding a playable ENTOZOA,(entozoic parasite) when he saw me go out with BUNODONT( having rounded molar teeth) and win by 180 points. I made the tops again... At the moment I am 13th with 13 wins and 13 losses. Needless to say that I'm not too excited!

  1. 13th position with 13-13 record. You can't get unluckier than that. Now it can only get better!

  2. Pedantic point: ENTOZOA is actually the plural of ENTOZOON so your parenthesis is slightly misleading: we wouldn't want anyone playing ENTOZOAS* now, would we? Especially when they could play OZONATES....

  3. BUNODONT was nice. There are a surprising number of these -DONT words relating to various kinds of teeth. Some of the more useful ones are ACRODONT, CONODONT, CREODONT, HOMODONT, ISODONT, MYLODONT and SECODONT. But my favourite is ZALAMBDODONT, an animal with V-shaped ridges on its teeth, as is the case with some insectivores. I must confess that I haven't actually played it yet....

  4. David, ENTOZOAS* wouldn`t have been playable! I wrote my short Scrabble reports after 01.00 in the morning. That explains the mistakes!
