Things I learned from club this week

[scrabblepodcast]

1. Missed ACMOTTU to an H. Also forgot MAUT.

2. RURBAN is a cool word.

3. EINRRY? plays through an A.

4. CEEKNT? has one anagram.

5. OK, here's the big lesson: I lost the second game three times. Here's how:

a) I had AEGNORS and thought S(MUTCH) was good but didn't know for sure.

b) I didn't take long enough to find the one spot my opponent could

"c) I didn't find BERN as an outplay,"
BREN, be careful now.

Thanks for the refresher on RURBAN. I would have missed it every time.

exactly. see, I can't even get it right in my notes.

i dont think there is a strategic way of playing the AEGNORS rack. this seems to me to just be a case of having to know a hook to find the best play.

interesting to me is that SMUTCH as an anagram that becomes available to Collins players on Jan 1st - SCHTUM#+

I always find it weird that SHTUM*, a Yiddish word that is pretty common in American English, never made it into the North American lexicon, when so many (less common) others did.
