The Grandmaster (100 words)

"Have not."
"Yes you have. The word's 'intemperate', Danny, with a 'p' – intemperate, lacking in self-control, just like you."
"I have not missed a letter, Steven. My word is 'intemerate', without a 'p', meaning unsullied and pure, just like my beautiful daughter. And with two double letter scores and a triple word score that earns me 42 points."
Steve sighs and marks up the scores. His own vocabulary is wide - just because he doesn't use words doesn't mean he doesn't know them - but he really should know better than to play Scrabble with Danny.
