scrabble
 

it's worth the money to buy it on your cell phone.

i just scored 95 points for one word.....

reformed. triple word score...and i used all 7 letters.

jinx usually kicks my ass...but i think that might put me ahead for keeps this game! ha ha!

d'oh! i just got the Q....and there ore NO u's on the board. jinx has 4 U's on her tray....shes totally cheating.....u hoarder. you...

I have created a Facebook group for people who scored 60 or more points on their first move against Mrs. Dallas in Scrabulous* and still ended up losing to her. (There are currently four members, including me... I forget my word, but it was worth 70 points.)

*Scrabulous is a third-party Scrabble look-alike that you can play through Facebook. They are currently being sued by Hasbro over it, though for reasons I can't fathom Hasbro has no plans to operate their own version, since it's been wildly popular.**

**I occasionally make fun of other people's typos, if they end up looking funny. (Hi Brianna! :angel: ) In the interests of full disclosure, I initially typed the "size" tag as "seize". Then I thought, hey, there should be a seize tag. How about it, UT???

QI (life force), QAT (a narcotic popular in the middle east) and PDQ (pretty damn quick) are in the scrabble dictionary...


In fact, wiki teaches:

which dictionary is PDQ in?

Qi is not in the US one, just UK/Aus, I think. Mine appear to have disappeared from the shelf so that is from memory, I may have it the wrong way around. I don't think there have been updates since I last bought dictionaries...

Hasbro have systematically closed down hundreds of online Scrabble games -there were a few good ones I found and one by one Hasbro hounded them into the ground. But they refuse to licence or produce anything other than the PC box game they sell which has an online option. Arseholes.

Official Scrabble Dictionary

(PDQ and Qi are not listed, but the rest are as far as I can tell.)

You might be thinking of Xi, not Qi, one of the few X words... Its a greek letter. Not sure how come greek letters are allowed but foreign words aren't.

I can't remember the details of the dictionary we were using but it billed itself as "The Official Scrabble Dictionary".
FWIW if it were up to me I wouldn't allow PDQ.

Because they are used in mathematics, so are in common usage in English.

And they are the English spelling of Greek symbols that mean Greek letters. And, like you said, are in common use in many things in the English speaking world.

:D

There is a scrabble dictionary you can buy. It's worth it......you know, if you are a big freakin' geek like me!!!
:)

(I bought the program version so I can play it by myslef)

CHALLENGE!!!

;)

:lol:

Yea...Not sure I've heard of a real scrabble geek stealing any dictionaries....more likely to write one under harsh conditions. :D

Which begs the question: Who here bought the book, "Steal this book?"

:p

I bought the executive edition, with the hand-tooled leather cover.

I'm geeky enough to not only possess both US and UK Scrabble dictionaries, but also Everything Scrabble and I've read Word Freak too.. I borrowed the last one from the library, though -and returned it before it was overdue :lol:

Hey monster....do you ever fill in the "word jumble" answer before you solve the separate anagrams?

I do! lol!
I wish I had time to play at home with you guys!! Scrabble. I said scrabble!! (internet access fault again)

just join in whenever you have a mo. I'm not sure what you mean by the "word jumble"?
