High-Scoring Scrabble

Authors

Jeff Grant

Abstract

In the November 1974 issue of Word Ways, Ralph Beaman presented a theoretical Scrabble game in which the players cooperate to amass a remarkable 4142 points. By extensive modifications to this solution, I have been able to achieve a total of 4207 points, using only 99 tiles, as in a legal game. Letters with an asterisk represent blank tiles.
