I was in a SCRABBLE® game where my buddy had placed the word CAMPHORS on the board.
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/CAMPHORS
In my tray, I had the letters Z Y X O BLANK E N
Giving the BLANK tile the value "B," I used my seven tiles to create the word BENZOXYCAMPHORS (a chemical compound word), by placing my 7 tiles in front of my opponent's 8-letter word, CAMPHORS.
Because an official SCRABBLE® board is only 15 sqaures by 15 squares, our word covered the entire board.
Sorry, but I don't recall how many points I scored with that word-creation, but I got an additional 50 points for using all 7 of my tiles.
That happened in the 1970s, and I have never repeated that kind of situation in any subsequent games I've played.
Thanks for an excellent question! It brought back some good memories.

In a game of Scrabble, have you ever tried to play a word you made up, and later found out the word existed after all?

Can you look at your tiles and figure what your score before deciding if you want to challenge the word put down by the previous player?

You're reading I was just playing Scrabble, and there was an "R" on the board. I could've used all my letters to make the word, "radicals" but there wasn't enough room! ARGH! What was the longest Scrabble word you have ever made (or almost made)?
