As a special treat here is a quiz set by Keith.

The quiz is based on opening racks played on his Scrabble CD ROM High Vocabulary level.

 Each of the following racks makes just 1 6 letter word :

 

-        TGLEOUO 

-        ERSOETE 

  

Each of these racks makes 2 6 letter words :

 

-        TERNIJV

-        TICRINN

-        TOLRACD

 

 These racks make at least 3 6 letter words and 2 of them make a bonus too!

 

-        DHRNYOE  (there are 6 !)

-        OUNGIMT   (4)

-        OSRMJET   (3)

-        BNEDUAN   (3)

 

-        MHAOILT     (3 6s and a 7 letter word too!)

-        IDNULIN      (2 6s, and a 7 letter word too!)

 

This is quite a hard quiz so if you get 8-12 you are doing well!
