Success

[rhu]

Last week I bought two sets of Bananagrams as I mentioned I might after the NPL con. Friday night after the kids were in bed I decided to try using them to solve that day's NYT puzzle. It worked out pretty well --- they were a pleasure to handle; it was easy to lay fingers on the tiles I needed. A board with ridges to help keep things lined up would be helpful (for Patrick Berry's delightful puzzle that was less of an issue because of the way the lights aligned).

This morning we took a picture to document the successful experiment.


As you can see, I ran out of a few letters: P, S, L, and C. I think purchasing a third set is justified.
