A short Scrabble story

[Flying Squirrel]

After half an hour of searching for just the right play, I use all seven letters, adding them to "it" and making "qualities", with the "q" on a double letter score.

I scarcely finish patting myself on the back when, one minute later, my significant other adds "ine" to the front of it, using the triple word score to make "inequalities".

I'm sure the look on my face was priceless.

1. Hmm. I know what my next word would have been

and it also would have had "it" in the middle.

2. ≤≤≤ !

(that's ≤≤≤ ! )

3. wonderful

of course it wouldn't have been possible without you. I love scrabble and words with friends.
