Scrabble Dabble
I haven't played or even thought about scrabble since I was a teenager.
Last week I stumbled upon this neat documentary about the game's competitive avatar and promptly forgot about it afterwards.
Quite a coincidence that a friend, Christopher, decided to ask me for a game on facebook within a couple of days of that!
So I've spent part of today playing away with 3-4 other friends and its such fun!
I must admit what pushed me to post this is that I hit 2 bingos (use all 7 letters) today, one of which used a Q(10 pts) and had a Triple word score to boot for a total of 101 points! Woo hoo! What luck!
Bear with me for gloating but it gave me such a kick :)
To make it worth your while to have read this far let me share my discovery that en, ka, ag, mo, mi, mu, lo, jo and wo are all (amongst many other ) weird but valid 2 letter words!
Next time a toddler is making monosyllabic noises I will probably be thinking: "Wow! A scrabble prodigy!"
Oh and watch the documentary if you like the game (it's on Netflix rental and streaming)
