Serious Scrabble

So I play a lot of Scrabble with my friends.

I know that probably sounds insane coming from a guy in his 20's, but we all bought the iPhone game (Words With Friends) and so the games go back and forth over the phones as people have the time to play. The competition has become quite fierce at times and it's funny to me that a group of people can be so into a game. I always think about Scrabble when I remember my parents as I was growing up. These people played CONSTANTLY! It was a good thing though, as the competition was always very close and it lead to a very developed vocabulary for me.

Right now my current win streak is at 5 games with 6 more games currently in progress. I won last night against MBC 355-325 and we immediately began another game. I am behind a bit right now in that new game, but the points change very quickly as the TW's and TL's become available.

The other games are all awesome, mostly because I have 50-60 point leads right now. (Remember, super competitive guy here.)

But it got me thinking, with a good effort and some work, what's the highest I can score? I am all about winning, but at some point I want to have a new challenge if I just keep beating everyone. So I decided that I will keep track of high scores here and see what I can do. Current personal best: 425 points.
