Mine just happened. I made bingos with TRAINED and TAINTED, back to back. In my next game, I made TRAINED again, and then TWEETING, back to back. I assume for the top players in the world, back to back bingos aren’t all that unusual. But I’ve only been playing for a month, so I’m pretty proud, but to be honest, even more amazed. ---

My last game I had absurdly unlucky draws from the bag, leaving me with six vowels and one consonant for several turns in a row. No way was I going to get a seven-letter word, let alone two back-to-back. Two games ago, my opponent left an opening for the triple word score on the top row of the board, and I played ‘minx’ across while connecting to ‘ho’ downward. The word ‘mho’ I remembered because it’s a cute play on the SI units in electricity, in which ‘ohm’ spelled backwards was once used as a unit of conductivity (conductivity being inversely proportional to resistivity, which is measured in ohms). ---

Mine was years ago around 1972. It was at the end of the game, when there were no tiles to draw and every point counted. We were playing in a mixed group with partners. I looked at the tiles. There were two lines parallel to each other, setting up two T’s with a space between them. I had an “I.” I said, “I have a word, but it wouldn’t be polite to use it.” My partner (female) looked, then cracked up.
