"Message in a Scrabble
Game"
I was playing a solitaire on-line Scrabble game a few days ago
and got a couple of very interesting "bingos"
back-to-back. A bingo is when you can use all seven
letters you are dealt to form one word and it is worth an extra
50 points. It was interesting when I could easily see that
the first bingo could be sorted to spell the word
"warhead". A few minutes later I got another bingo and to
my amazement, this one spelled "rapture". What are the
odds that the computer game would deal me those particular sets
of letters to spell those two words, one right after the other?
