This was my 674 game from yesterday, not even the best recorded in Australia this year annoyingly. Still. CLARINET for 61 was an OK start, and cAVIARE for 80, ZOOEA for 77 and HUMIDER for 80 all were handy, and each got challenged (ZOOEA for the ANTIGENE hook, see). Holding SIVERS? I had been hoping to bingo onto CLARINET which had been there since the beginning. My previous play had been LOX keeping IRSS, and I wondered if SOX keeping ILRS was better. When SHINIEST was played, floating an S I briefly cursed having two Ss, as an L would have alowed RIVaLESS, REVISaLS, SuRVEILS and also other things. Fortunately I spotted the splendid IVRESSeS for 149, and collected another 5 points on top of that for the inevitable challenge.

Some glee.
