Triplets

[This is post number 100!]

I'm almost through with the triplets. I learnt them all from the Bible of every English Scrabble freak - the Collins Official Scrabble Lists by Darryl Francis and Allan Simmons (ISBN 979-0-00-727848-0) - pages 341-351.
Now on to Zyzzyva to practice them. At the end of June I should have them in my head :)
I'm a bit disappointed with my performance on the couplets though. I went through all of them from the book and then tried to practice them in Zyzzyva but got discouraged by the success rate of about 54% and stopped quizzing them half way through the list.
I hope I will do better with the triplets, quadruplets, quintuplets, sextuplets, septuplets, octuplets, nontuplets, decuplets and undecuplets.
After I have finished them I will go back to couplets.
End of August I should know all of them, i.e. 2- to 11- combination anagrams of 7-letters - 10929 bingos in all :)
Then on to 1-anagram bingos of probability 1 to 10000 - 4434 of them.
When I'm finished at the end of September I will know 47% of all 7-letter words.
Then I will do some refreshing of 8-letter words - probability 1-5000.
And that's not all...
