Game 1, rack AAEFQRS. Woulda had FAQIRS/HOWF for 97 if you’d had an I. You’d been drowning in them until that point lol. That’s Scrabble for you. Beautiful find with TOWELETTE too. This series rocks.
When I saw PRIEDIEU stopping one just short of the DL, I really wanted (PRIEDIEU)X to be the best play later on. Alas, it wasn't meant to be. I've seen this word way too much while constructing the 1210 all-bingos tie, with PRIEDIEU, ABOI(D/T)EAU, and fLAMBEAU being the only viable 8s that took an X backhook.
Wow, as a non-native english speaker but very regular in online circles, i'm very surprised to see spoonfed to be a phony. i wonder if it's an international/uk slang that spread online, grew online and got accepted in uk dictionary faster or a spelling (two words vs one) thing.
as a native speaker i was confused as to why it was a phony too, according to wiktionary its standard spelling is with a hyphen (spoon-fed) but i've only ever seen it as one word
Missing "apogees" is a clear sign of your youth. Apogee Software was one of the top creators of PC games in the early 1990s and their brochure explained the origin of their name so anyone who read it would know that apogee was not _just_ a proper noun and could be pluralized. Alas, they changed their name to "3D Realms" in 1996 and the new Apogee Entertainment (not actually the same company but had bought the rights to its library) didn't put a game out until 2011, so a 2000s kid like yourself wouldn't know the word like someone born in the 1980s would.
I saw apogees right away which is only notable in that it's one of those one in a thousand (or less?) situations where I find a bingo that Mack doesn't find :-)
Please don't ever stop doing these, they are my favorite videos ever, you guys are both amazing!
Thanks Annette! We have no plans of stopping :)
you were being spoonfed bingos today sheesh 😂
Haha indeed!
Random fact: "spoonfeed" is the longest Scrabble word whose letters are in exact reverse alphabetical order 😊
(But only in Collins!)
@@alexpotts6520 This is very cool! Though even Collins, weirdly, *SPOONFEED is no good. Just SPOONFED# as an adjective.
Joey replying :) after your JOEY play is so sweet haha
I think he's yet to play MACK in any of these games but I'll have to return the favor when he eventually does!
24:15 Wholesome Scrabble moment

Very surprised SPOONFED was not valid! I guess it's usually hyphenated? I wouldn't write it with a hyphen, though, in my own speech.
I guess u might be a collins person irl 😂
Oof, SPOONFED as a phony 8 just a touch too late to be featured in the phonies video
Yeah I had the same thought! Next one
44:00 Came up with ADHE(RE)NcY, unfortinately it's only valid in the archaic dictionary.
Ooh nice find though! ADHERENCE is good

Very weird. I've never seen it written with a hyphen either, have to think it gets added in some future update
