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
