I’ll just bet you weren’t aware, but this is National Scrabble Week and it’s also Weird Contest Week. In honor of both, we’re having a Weird Scrabble Contest. In true Scrabble style, we are asking you to find words among the following random letters you might have if you were allowed this many letters when playing Scrabble.
RULES:
1. From among the letters listed here, find all the possible you might put down on a Scrabble board if it were your turn. All the words have to have something to do with communication. For each word, you cannot reuse letters unless there are more than one of that letter listed (just like it is in real Scrabble). Each word is a new turn so all the letters you used for the previous word come back and are able to be used for the next word.
2. Post your words in one comment at the bottom of this blog post. Make sure you leave your first and last name and an email address so we can contact you should you be our winner.
3. You have until midnight PST tonight (August 6th, 2012) to post your answers. The one who finds the most words will win a gift from Art of Eloquence.
YOUR LETTERS:

That’s a LOT of letters! LOL If I have time, I’ll give it a shot!
The more letters you have, the more words you can make. Remember this is Scrabble not a word scramble. You don’t need to use all the letters to form each word.
briefly – read, fowl, leap, tan, sky, queen, quiet, quit

I have 15 words so far, but if I post them, then all the next person has to do to win is copy mine and add one more. Is there a way to make the posts invisible to others?
