New personal Scrabble record

I love playing Scrabble on the DS. I made a new personal Scrabble record against the computer on level 4 difficulty. Number of bingos in a single game: 2. And just barely, also. After having already made a bingo (using all 7 your letters in one turn, it nets you a 50 point bonus. Using all 6 letters say, at the end of the game, doesn't qualify.), there were no tiles left and I had 7 of them. I had TILING and a blank. There was a prime location, too. I had made GO earlier in the game, and I was trying hard to think of a word with an E in it to make EGO. Then, after accidentally passing (curse you, weird controls!) it hit me: Why not make AGO and TAILING? So I did. I finished the game with a score of 333, which IMO isn't very high for getting 2 bingos. If I hadn't, subtract 100 from that score! And the computer would have beat me, since it had more than 233 points. I don't know why, but the computer even one lower on the penultimate difficulty, some of the time makes puny two and three letter words, most of which I have never heard of before. Ever heard of RAGA (A Hindu musical form, according to the Scrabble dictionary) before? Neither had I. Well, to be totally fair, so did I, but only because I was constantly looking for bingos. I figure once you have I, N, and/or G, then you're ready to find bingos. If I hadn't have made AJAR at the beginning and hadn't have gotten the two bingos, I probably would have lost the game. I know this is small pittance compared to all the things going on, but it is my life, and if you chose to read all of this, I commend you for it.
