Carpenter Breaks Previous Scrabble Point Record

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the dumb-luck-is-my-favorite-kind dept.

theodp writes "Unimpressed by Wilt Chamberlain's 100-point game? Think Don Larsen's perfect World Series game was no big deal? How about Michael Cresta's 830-point Scrabble game? Not only did Cresta shatter a 13 year-old record for the highest sanctioned Scrabble score in North America, he also set a new record for the most points on a single turn — 365, for QUIXOTRY."

    Is this the English or Klingon version?

    Yeah, that's a very convenient way to cheat. After all 'Colour' is worth more points than 'Color'.

  4. Only 100 points? by XxtraLarGe · · Score: 4, Funny

    Unimpressed by Wilt Chamberlain's 100-point game?

    I suppose a 100-point game of Scrabble isn't too bad for a professional basketball player. Of course, I can't imagine when he would have had time to ever play scrabble with all of his other extracurricular activities...
