Random Wordplay for Wednesday 5/20/15

Cozens.

Used in a sentence:  "Who cares what it means, cozens just replaced zanies as my highest scoring word in Words with Friends!"

Gully (Rich G), that means you are no longer in the record books as the person against whom I scored the most points (that person's name will be anonymous for now unless he or she names him or herself).

I'm just excited to have had the opportunity for a new personal best.

Oh ... and by the way ... cozens is not another way to spell that particular classification of your relatives NOR is it the full spelling of the nickname that guys used to give each other back in the early nineties even if they weren't related BUT is the plural action of deceiving someone via "artful coaxing and wheedling or shrewd trickery" ... i.e. shrewd trickery ... like how sometimes you play a word in that game that you don't actually know but that just so happens to line up with a triple letter AND a triple word so you're delighted to see it approved.
