I suspect I'm going to have to draw this scrabble board out at some point, unless Claire does something dramatic half-way through.... But that could be fun too :)
Oh, this MacBookPro... the touch bar is too close to the delete key for it's own good. I've had to remap it so that the brightness slider is at the end, otherwise the touch bar keeps doing things I don't want it to when I try and delete things. Not a good design choice by apple :(

The rebound
Claire's face was unreadable, but she was staring at her partner as though trying to telepathically hammer a message into his head. Her fingers twitched now and then, and they caught her rack at one point, nudging it round slightly so that Theresa could see her letters: ACEEKSP. Finally she shuddered as though her hammer-thoughts had rebounded off her stoic partner and hit her back and shook her head as though recovering from a daze. Then, so fast that Theresa wasn't sure she saw the tiles come off her rack, she played ESCAPEE below the UN of UNREEVES and smiled beatifically.

Greg - having Claire restart the game at regular intervals would just be cheating on your part :P

Hmm, a 'K' seems to have gone missing somewhere in here. I wonder where and when it will turn up?
