Question 1 of 10
1. Nine-letter words are not common in Scrabble, even at the highest level. Without having any statistics to back me up, I would imagine that they would constitute less than one percent of all words played.

Your challenge here is to solve- 'Sold learning'.

Answer: (Starting letters A E)
Question 2 of 10
2. As can be imagined, because of the sheer length, many niners would have to incorporate an 'S'.

These words both use two esses- 'Army ranks with distinction'.

Answer: (Starting letters S G)
Question 3 of 10
3. In 1974 a British magazine held a competition to find the highest scoring game. Ron Jerome submitted an entry that included a score of 1539 for a single word!

This competition is slightly easier- 'Easterners kin'.

Answer: (Starting letters O R)
Question 4 of 10
4. This question uses a pair of esses (the plural of 'S')- 'Occupants lethargy'.

Answer: (Starting letters R T)
Question 5 of 10
5. When Alfred Butts invented the game back in the 1940s, he worked out the letter distribution by counting letters in the 'New York Times' and other newspapers. This story is only partly true, as the letter 'S' should proportionally show up more times that the four tiles that are in the game.

Try this one- 'Positioned cures'

Answer: (Starting letters S A)
Question 6 of 10
6. This question involves a swap of only two letters.

'Indulgent protest'.

Answer: (Starting letters C C)
Question 7 of 10
7. The smallest possible score for a bingo is 56, and requires both blanks.

Next puzzle is - 'Reacquires male singers'.

Answer: (Starting letters R B)
Question 8 of 10
8. This one is a tough triple treat, but look for the '-ing' endings.

'Conquering flowing people that move to another country'.

Answer: (Starting letters M S E)
Question 9 of 10
9. One of these answers is a compound word, and the total answer presents a rather ludicrous mental picture.

'Pack animal musical ensemble'

Answer: (Starting letters C O)
Question 10 of 10
10. This one is tough, so as a further hint I will reveal that the last three letters of each word are 'N', 'A' and 'I', but not in that order.

'Establish religious fanatic'.

Answer: (Starting letters A S)

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Nine-letter words are not common in Scrabble, even at the highest level. Without having any statistics to back me up, I would imagine that they would constitute less than one percent of all words played. Your challenge here is to solve- 'Sold learning'.

Answer: auctioned education

Seven- and eight-letter bingos are much more common, with an average-to-good tournament player averaging around two per game.

'Cautioned' is the only other anagram with these letters.
2. As can be imagined, because of the sheer length, many niners would have to incorporate an 'S'. These words both use two esses- 'Army ranks with distinction'.

Answer: sergeants greatness

The value of the 'S' tile is highlighted in the longer words. I only play an 'S' for less than about 30 points if I have more than one of them.
3. In 1974 a British magazine held a competition to find the highest scoring game. Ron Jerome submitted an entry that included a score of 1539 for a single word! This competition is slightly easier- 'Easterners kin'.

Answer: orientals relations

With a rack containing CGNPYYZ, he made 'PsYChoaNalYZinG' across three Triple Word Score squares, and in the process made 'novations', 'previewed' and 'zoo'. The total points for the game was a mammoth 3881. Contrived games such as this one score abnormally- a combined score of around 900 is considered above-average.
4. This question uses a pair of esses (the plural of 'S')- 'Occupants lethargy'.

Answer: residents tiredness

'-less', '-ness', '-ess' are common suffixes when trying to make the longer words.
5. When Alfred Butts invented the game back in the 1940s, he worked out the letter distribution by counting letters in the 'New York Times' and other newspapers. This story is only partly true, as the letter 'S' should proportionally show up more times that the four tiles that are in the game. Try this one- 'Positioned cures'

Answer: stationed antidotes

Butts recognised the value of that one tile, and reduced the expected ratio. In doing so, he made it one of the most valuable tiles in Scrabble, even though its individual score is only one point.
6. This question involves a swap of only two letters. 'Indulgent protest'.

Answer: compliant complaint

'Conversed' and 'conserved' share the same property.
7. The smallest possible score for a bingo is 56, and requires both blanks. Next puzzle is - 'Reacquires male singers'.

Answer: reobtains baritones

A word such as 'realists' with the blanks landing on the Double Letter squares, and the whole word falling between Double Word squares could give this rather pathetic score.
8. This one is a tough triple treat, but look for the '-ing' endings. 'Conquering flowing people that move to another country'.

Answer: mastering streaming emigrants

Nine letter words have to use two letters that are already placed on the board, so are tough to find.
9. One of these answers is a compound word, and the total answer presents a rather ludicrous mental picture. 'Pack animal musical ensemble'

Answer: carthorse orchestra

There are no other anagrams in these letters.
10. This one is tough, so as a further hint I will reveal that the last three letters of each word are 'N', 'A' and 'I', but not in that order. 'Establish religious fanatic'.

Answer: ascertain sectarian

A sectarian is part of a sect, and also means a narrow-minded or bigoted person.
