    This is really great. It's not easy to make 57 Scrabble tiles in one minute. cbd products This record is achieved must be after a long-time practice I think. There need concentration and proper guidance for this. Really excellent work.

    That's incorrect. We have no rules re: family members being witnesses.

  • I thought the witness couldn't be family

  • Astounding - good work

  • All I know is that this record holder is hot!

  • We've taken this discussion to heart and revised the record to 23 tiles. If anyone wants to try and beat the record, take note: if you place your first tile down before the clock begins, it will not be counted. In terms of the last tile, we timed the record at URDB HQ. The last one was placed before the clock expired. We encourage anyone to time or count this record (or others) if they have concerns about accuracy, and let us know if concerns arise. We're building this site together, folks!

  • But Eli -- you didn't tell us what they SAID!

  • I can't disagree with Rob's point. Additionally, I believe the final tile was probably played after the time limit had expired. So maybe 22 is the fair count. It's still a world record!

  • I think Rob is right here. One could say that every individual tile is a tower of one before any building begins - thus the tower building must start at two. However, there is a defined tower building space that he moves one tile to before building the tower. This space should be considered the foundation, and the timer should start when the first tile hits that space.

    24 might be a bit of a stretch. Notice how Mr. Rollman already placed a single tile down before the timer began. 23 seems like the proper count.

    That's my bro! Rollman family represent! You can't touch us!
