    Looks like back to the drawing board on shortest blocked scrabble game without using blanks thanks to TWL 2014 / OWL14. Good find Alan Frank of MA with [WUD, HUMIC & DIG] in the [8.3 blocked games section.] CSARDAS and CSARDASES are words now. Using the '
    C' in either HUMIC and forming DIGS, CSARDAS opens board back up. Now CSARDASES is not be possible with a 7 tile rack or by playing HUMIC through the center pink double word square but could still eventually be formed (add 'ES') in same area with a shift
    of the starting word block. CSARDAS is the disproving case that opens board legally in one move and with no blanks.

    As for highest single player score with TWL 2014 using all 100 tiles I get 3993 points. Take the 3986 combined player game minus 2 points for the 'A' tile, minus 18 points for 2N A(X) plus N2 AA for 27 points. No TWL 2014 words are used, TE and EMO were
    looked at though. Still early on finds and Zyzzyva and Quackle not helping. TD Tom.
