How To Cheat At Scrabble
I had no idea there was such drama surrounding Scrabble. I thought that was reserved for Monopoly and Risk.
I love scrabble.
When I was taught as a child , I was encouraged to use a dictionary. And a word builder…
Can you add a letter at the beginning or end of a word that’s been played.
No challenging. You had to play a real word.
Now as adults, my mom (94) uses a dictionary , I have a scrabble dictionary on my phone.
A house rule…. You can swap the blank tile for its letter, if you have three of one letter , you can swap the third letter for another.
But we keep score….. the score is so very important.!!
I love Words with Friends. Learning new words , that’s okay
But it is not the board game of scrabble.
Thanks Barb for sharing. The rule of thumb was the combined scores should exceed 400 points.
I’d like to share another scrabble tid-bit
All games are recorded in a notebook.
I have filled many. And they are dated!
I’d show a photo, but not quite sure how to do that?
Thank you for responding.
I’m glad you met me!

The guy was brought in to "redesign" the scrabble board, not make it better. Just different. Mission accomplished.
True, but the redesign was upsetting to serious players who play competitively and have certain expectations as to what’s where. There are standards like on every football field or tennis court.
That's interesting that game reachers found younger players care less about winning - or is it possibly they care a whole lot more about not losing?
