Scrabble Hates Me

I pulled my new letters from the bag and made "BUTCHER" - but no where to put it. After I tried to sneak a word past Nick and he challenged successfully, I realized there was a spot that it could have gone if I had noticed it. I then made the word "BUT" and pulled out "TEA". Couldn't get that on the board either and had to settle for "TEACH". Finally, I pulled out FELD. Yes, three turns in a row and I didn't get a single one of them on the board. Final score: Nick 308 to Karin 280. He was happy to finally win a game against me; I've been on a great win streak lately.
