This month’s quiz is inspired by the common phrase we hear a lot at the club

“There’s nowhere to lay my bonus !”

The letters on the rack make 2 bonus words in everyday English.

Task 1 is to find both words.

Task 2 is to play them on the board. 

There are 24 different ways the bonus words can be played (12 for each)

How many of the 24 can you spot ?  Some knowledge of slightly obscure 3 and 4 letter words is needed to find all 24. One of the plays scores over 100, three others score over 90!
