This strory has been covered much before, but this video is excellent for presenting an insiders view; it's like a speedrun breakdown video but for #Scrabble: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-8NrvVqbT4

Heute dachte ich bis kurz vor Schluss, ich hätte eine Chance, aber am Schluss gewinnt halt doch immer die Frau 😵 (immerhin knapp diesmal). #Scrabble

2. All invented words must be plausible in terms of morphology
3. All invented words must be accompanied by their definition and need to be approved by a majority of players

Review: Illiterati from Gap Closer Games

A cooperative word-building game with the fantastic theme of rogue librarians trying to stop the spread of illiteracy by the evil Illiterati by binding new books.

Find out why we think even people who don't normally love word games may dig this one:

At the risk of being extremely nerdy, this recap video of the 2023 #Scrabble world championship match is incredible. Dare I say the match was...exciting!?

I love the fact that Emocore is a valid word in Scrabble and that it was played in the World Scrabble Championship. #emocore #scrabble

I've just played "trans posse" on a triple word score #TransRightsAreHumanRights #scrabble

#Scrabble championships are something else. Just wow 😳 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47ynBJFz0MI #boardgames #geeky

@derek I listened to a podcast interviewing a guy who wrote a book about popular games: https://www.thepodcastbrowser.com/oliver-roeder-on-the-enduring-appeal-of-chess-and-other-games/

Apparently he spent lots of time in grad school memorising words in order to become better at #Scrabble. If I remember correctly, he regrets it, because it's made it impossible for him to play Scrabble with regular people. It's not just that he always wins, but they suspect he's being unfair by making up words they don't know.

Memo to the people behind the #Wordsmith ™️ #Scrabble®️-like app: YOU'RE NOT THAT IMPORTANT to be requiring me to login again every week. Fucks sake.

Note: I'm almost certain that Wordsmith is not affiliated with Milton Bradley or whoever owns Scrabble now.

Remember when you found out who owned what and it almost was never a mega international conglomerate? Milton Bradley is probably a popcorn fart on the balance sheet of whoever owns them.

Note: these rants have not been fact checked.

Il pleut en Bretagne, c'est donc le temps idéal pour un #Scrabble.

Bonne pioche !

Partie gagnée 395 points contre 391, avec 3 scrabbles :
- CENSEUR
- PLANTES
- TA(I)LLEUR

I want to order Spanish Scrabble, so I was looking on Amazon, and they have *Monopoly Scrabble*. I obviously went wtf and clicked on it. You use your Scrabble score instead of moving the dice. Mom and I were like "Duuuuudeee", and Dad went "No, just no." #Scrabble #Monopoly #BoardGames

New Review on the Blog!

Illiterati from Gap Closer Games

This is a cooperative word game where players team up as the League of Librarians and attempt to bind books in opposition to the evil Illiterati who want to keep all the books to themselves and turn the rest of the world illiterate!

I'm convinced the Morrowind developers named all the locations by pulling random tiles from a Scrabble bag #elderscrolls #morrowind #bethesda #scrabble
