In Scrabble, which I’ve been playing AN AWFUL LOT OF ON MY PHONE, a bingo is when you use all seven of your tiles, resulting in an additional 50-point bonus.
So this isn’t my highest-scoring bingo, but it is my favorite. The computer played entasias (the plural of entasia, “a sudden, abnormal, involuntary muscular contraction”) and I was able to respond with reality – which lined up with entasia to spell another seven two-letter words. I felt like a young Michael Jordan winning a slam-dunk contest. Maybe.

I write screenplays, books and push software; I'm a collector and indoorsman. If you have a Masonic scepter or a copy of the Boyd Philadelphia Blue Book (any year), drop me a line.
