Scrabble Challenge #12: Can You Unscramble the Derivative Words?

Bingo! No, this isn't the game where balls fly around in machines and players dab their cards with daubers.

Even if you had two blanks on your rack and didn't utilize any premium squares on the board, you'd still have an impressive 56-point turn (at least) by using all 7 of your letters.

It's laid back... which means I have a bunch of games going, and I like that.
