blanks

Writing on the blank slip before putting your tiles on the board is bush-league.

Writing on the blank slip a full minute before putting your tiles on the board should earn you a tile rack down the throat.

That is all.

must've learned that from rich m.

a wisconsin player would grab the blank slip a full 2 minutes before his play. then he'd put the tiles on the board a full minute before hitting the clock. if he could get away with it, he'd then use the board as a working area for a minute or sometimes longer, to figure out optimal placement, which is of course illegal.

THANK YOU. I HATE PEOPLE WHO WRITE DOWN THE BLANK BEFORE PLAYING THE WORD. they are just prolonging the misery unnecessarily. when i play a bingo i always try to play the blank last, or if it's in the middle of the word i kind of cover it with my hand until the last moment, then quickly circle the letter and look down in the shame that only a luckbox can feel.

This reply made my day. Perfect.

This post = Yet another reason to declare the blank before playing it.

My favorite was still the time Joe B, in this order, designated the blank, spent seven minutes shuffling his tiles, re-designated the blank, and then played RETINAS or some such baby bing. Oh, Joe, we miss you!
