(and I want to play it) ■ MORPUZZLERNSWERSMoue bymoueGame 1 - Sowpods at Exeter[1] REGULIZE[2] GAMELAN[3] PA: My best play Is VILLAIN at m7d for 20, setting up an outplayof DICE at I12d for 24. Mark can block DICE with AA at I12d for 10, but I then winwith CEDI at n3d. Mark's best reply is AERO at lid for 15. After DICE the final scoreis 471-471.RcrossThe BoardPosition 1 - TSP teaserINDIGNITY at j2d is the word. I remember seeing the possibility of DIGNITYsomewhere and then thinking "oh, if only there were a couple of Is in the rightplace..." And there were! Just a pity these sort of things don't happen in "real" lifeeh?Position 2 - last minute bonus requiredAS: Clearly there is a very consonant-heavy bag and a pickup of three could well pickup three consonants probably including an N & R.Although WOVE or COVE brings the scores to within 30, this doesn't give a realisticchance of winning because:1) the blank is somewhat devalued since it would most probably need to be used asan essential vowel.2) there is only one realistic bonus possibility beginning with the F at C2 which Is toomuch of a long shot given the vowel imbalance and having to retain a W or C.
