What to do with 2 blanks ?
Try to make them into a 7 letter word. Think about the other 5 tiles -what is missing to make a good rack? An S ? A vowel ? A consonant ? Mentally turn one of the blanks into one of these ‘missing letters’ and then continue again to allocate the second blank.
Here are two questions :
1. 1. What bonuses can you make with BLANK and two blanks ?
There are 8 words to find – try to find at least 5.
2. 2. What are the 9 anagrams of NOVEM and two blanks ?
This is harder, most are NOT in common parlance, but most are ‘definable’ if you saw them in a book. Try to find at least 4

Sometimes you see a bonus on your rack – realise it won’t play, so you move on. But there may be another playable anagram. The following racks all make two 7 letter anagrams, and in many cases can be ‘connected’ by a simple sentence. (Sometimes easily, sometimes outrageously). Thinking of the sentence will help you remember the second word.
For example :
ADEEISS In former times if you had a ******* you went to the ******* to recover.
ADEGRTY Disco-dancers ******* on the dance floor to the Bee Gees song ‘*******’.
Why not solve these anagrams… and make your own memorable sentence? PS It doesn’t matter if you don’t the exact meaning of a word, if you think you can imagine a meaning, that’s good enough!
