147 Games, 48 Bingos, and One Word Worth 116 Points — This Week in UniWords
What a week on the boards. UniWords players logged 147 games over the past seven days, racking up 48 bingos across 1,642 moves — and the words people played were genuinely stunning. The highlight reel starts with CIFRENES for 116 points — a bingo on turn 3 that must have made the opponent’s jaw hit the floor. Close behind: DOKTORAND for 113 points and STUKKENS for 110 points, both bingos, both Danish, both absolutely devastating. The highest-scoring game this week peaked at a remarkable 545 points for the winner in a Danish match. Someone had a very good Tuesday.
The English boards held their own too. A player opened their game with YARDMEN for 92 points — as an opening move, on turn 1, before their opponent had even blinked. Then there was CHEESES for 86 points and the wonderfully efficient QUASI for 60 points as the week’s top-scoring English word by base value. Meanwhile, the longest word of the week went to HØJSKOLENS — 10 letters — played for 40 points in a Danish match that also featured its own base form, HØJSKOLEN, earlier in the same game. One player, two forms of the same word, one win. Tidy.
