Some of the best scrabble players in the world don't speak a word of English, they've just memorized the lists. These are world champion level competitors from either India or Bangladesh I think. I read a great creative non fiction book my mom (a scary good scrabble player) gave me about the author's journey into the world of competitive scrabble. Really a fun read but I can't remember the author.
I haven't played for about 6 months, but I love scrabble, my husband is a really good but aggravating player, he strategically locks the board up with killer little words. We printed out the 2 letter word lists from the internet and have amended with a "house" list of acceptable Hawaiian words. Maybe we could have a Punaweb scrabble party, I've got 2 boards, the old school flat board and the deluxe spinning one with ridges to hold the tiles, extra chairs, and a huge living room, but we would need to scrounge up some card tables. Who's game?
