Sorry, but your game really doesn't have an amazing competitive scene, all in your head.

That's the thing about scrabble, it's a game primarily about memorization. It uses other factors as well, but if you don't know words are or how to spell them, it doesn't matter how good at math you are, or whatever the heck they claimed the other skills were that made it such a supposedly skillful game.

I just don't get to see her very often :) I remember one time we both Bingoed as the first two plays! I played "turtles" and then she played "coasters" off my "s". Nunu would be an awesome professional Scrabble player. I think she even got the Triple Word Score. Rookie mistake on my part. I love videos like this. They are so wholesome. Thanks for sharing!

Managed to open up a triple and I played all my tiles for something like 110, plus all the points for the letters they had left, won by a couple. What's particularly interesting is probably any other move they make wins the game, as it's the only instance I can think of of someone making the worst move possible.

Not sure about the rules of professional scrabble but in that competition if you were challenged for the existence of a word and the word exists, you get double points. "Crimsons" alone gave me 35 points. My opponent challenged me and I got 70 points as a result and I eventually won. Felt great back then
