[edit] definition
Can we get a definition of OXYPHENBUTAZONE? And possibly a reference to it being the highest-scoring (not that I doubt it, but...)? Rigadoun 16:54, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
- How unlikely is it that 8 letters are placed in the correct positions? Just a little! violet/riga (t) 10:05, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
As outlined, these are sowpods records. I'm happy for people to add TWL records in fact it's a great idea. I don't have a copy of the modern version of TWL so I don't know what the records are. But for heaven's sake let's not mix the two. I should be able to find a reference to OXYPHENBUTAZONE being the highest scoring word quite easily. I actually gave the score of the of the word on it's own, not the score of the word and sub-words but that's a great idea too.
The lowest possible score for a bingo is 56 since any 7 letter bingo must connect to another word. Mglovesfun 12:48, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] How did this article never exist before?
That... that's it. That's my comment. I can't believe there was never an article on bingoing. -- Kicking222 01:26, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
Have you ever heard the term "a walk off bingo" before? I used it, when my brother in-law won a scrabble game playing a bingo on his last turn. Rickudana 05:08, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Other names
As the article says, another term for this is "bonus", but has anyone ever heard it called "a scrabble"? (I have never called it that but I have heard other people say they think they have heard it, haha) Adam Bishop 01:59, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
It's un scrabble in French but no I've never heard it called that. In my opinion the noun a scrabble is nowhere near widely enough used to merit inclusion here. Mglovesfun 04:20, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
