Don't let people psyche you out into not playing words :)
I spent a long time planning and finding a Bingo that hit two triple word scores for a total of 131 points (GELATINS) then the other players convinced me that it wasn't a word :( We checked the dictionary after the game. We were in a bit of a hurry to finish, so I didn't want to spend more time deliberating.....

Well at least I can be happy to find such a word. I can't play Scrabble very often because I obsess over finding Bingos.
