which is why I never play Scrabble,
but here is the thing, look at the words on the board above, image credit Finemann, from the article, 'The top
players, do not win tournaments by being cleverer than the rest of us. They do
it by memorizing a long list of non-words so they can avoid the problems
ordinary players encounter', those
words can be handy, but they're fairly incomprehensible. World-class Scrabble
players don't have to know what they mean; they just have to know they are in
the Scrabble dictionary. But that's not the only way elite Scrabble culture is
different from that of us everyday players. Read more about top-level Scrabble culture in an article from The
Spectator, Scrabble, one of those games I just let quietly pass me by.
