Thanks Rahn! I don't know how I made it all the way to the finals but I definitely lucked out. There are plenty of ppl who are better than me at SC, not the least of which is you.
14 cubes is a LOT... heck that's more than half the cubes in the entire puzzle! You would have easily topped 1,000 if you finished. I thought I had played the final round pretty well but knew it was vulnerable to a few ppl because I may not have optimized efficiency.
Here was my final board/word list:
I played this a couple weeks ago, but from what I remember, the starting setup was pretty miserable (note the lack of bingos/high scoring words at the start), there were no big TLS cubes and I actually used the DLS cube on the top (left?) to connect to the TWS cube for three "-ing" words. The rest of my word list has a few common, low scoring bingos and nothing else remarkable. I did finish but I probably could've/should've managed to get another 30-50 points by playing a little more efficiently in the last third of the game (after my last bingo).
Anyway, thanks again and hopefully we'll see Scrabble Cubes in the W3 Competitions.
