# 1 "EW"

totals:

lu: 278
lo: 277

three new words were discovered in this game: dirl (trembling), thews (well developed muscles), vealy (immature). this is only the second time that louis has ever won against lo' (which may have been due to repeated use of the internet to check words).

there was a dispute on the very last turn. lois had just finished her letters and louis, with only one letter left (W), could not find an acceptable play. an argument ensued over the use of "EW" as a word (as in the sound of disgust, not the abbreviation for "enlisted woman"). louis searched five dictionaries to no avail, but with no other options, he succumbed to lois's insistence that "EW," as a common sound, can also be used as a word.

ps. it may be noted that a rather harsh slang term is used in this game. our sincere apologies for the crudeness.
