Amazingly, the first two players found all the links between them so the bonus points were all gone before the clock reached 9:04.
BigMac found SHIPSHAPE and ROYAL YACHT while Roslyn 251254 found LIFE BOAT and JUNK SHOP. 4 points to each
Beejay1124, centrino and middlestump also matched two links while bonus points were still live - also for 4 points.
Evsajo and Strix managed the bonus on just 1 link for 2 points.
Owllady went one better by matching three links but the bonus had expired on 'Royal Yacht' so she collected a total of 5 points.
There was also another triple hitter later in the game when Patchett picked up all except 'junk shop' for 3 points.
Double-hitters for single points were grannydi, slaney, kawakiri and joto
So, for being both a triple-hitter and the highest scorer of the weekend, I declare
