Last week we published a World Cup Scrabble Board puzzle. The answers are :
The rack NEWSRIN can be anagrammed to make the apt word WINNERS.
This can be played for 73 points by pluralising MANAGER.
However a higher score can be achieved by playing WINNERS in parallel to GOAL (making GI, ON,AN, and FINALE) this scores 79 points.
The highest non-apt score can be achieved with ANSWERING, as a double-double using the A of SAVE and G of GOAL. Well done if you spotted this 108 point move!

The final vocabulary quiz today, based on the one team that hasn't had a quiz or answer set about it : AUSTRALIA.
What are the 4 letter words you can make from the letters in AUSTRALIA ?
There are a lot, so to narrow it down (and make it harder, sorry!), the 4 letter words must contain 2 As.
There are 15 words in total :
- 3 are everyday words
- another 3 are plurals of 3 letter words
so a score of 3-6 is achievable.
If you get more than 10 well done!
