montreal (ten points, plus fifty for using all seven letters)

(Oh wait, proper nouns aren't allowed.) Finally, something to really put Montreal on the map: local boy Adam Logan has won the 2005 World Scrabble Championships in London, England. The thirty-year-old cruised to the finish with the words "qanat" (52 points) and "twistier" (140 points).

Congratulations, Adam! We here at SFB will be rooting for you at the 2006 Winter Olympics!
