"Official Scrabble " Thread - Chess and Board Game Strategy

c/f often · 09-22-2009, 09:23 PM

Searched Couldn't find it but figured hey we need a thread.

Read "Official Scrabble Player's Handbook "

and "The Champion's Strategy to Winning at Scrabble"

both picked up used for less than 5$ total.

What site does everyone play on? / Any local clubs/school have a team?

I'm on the local team.

We call ourselves the Scrabble RabbleRousers

I'm captain but only board 3.. hoping to move up to board 1 by mid-season!

All-inMcLovin · 09-23-2009, 11:08 AM

I read Word Freak a few years ago, got Lexpert, starting playing a lot on the ISC against the computers there. Haven't played for 2 or 3 years now.

Everything Scrabble is a great book that helped me a lot.

Does anyone know what happened to Lexpert? It was a study tool that a Michigan couple gave away for free, and it was priceless.

I hadn't googled it in a while. Looks like you can now get it from John Chew's site, http://poslfit.homeip.net/scrabble/

It's not free anymore, but you can use it free for 40 days.

I wish my old computer still worked; I had a copy on there.

Woo scrabble!
If you can't find lexpert, I think Zyzzyva is the software you want. It's free and has a bunch of useful features like the cardbox system for practicing words.

I'm bryceblitz on ISC these days (playing 3 minute games). I play some 15 minute games too.

Had a great result playing with my wife: three bingos including the first two which were back to back after she got to the H1 triple-word square with an S: "Shunters" up to A1 and then "Spirited" accross to A8! After playing a third bingo, she said something like "I don't want to play any more!" and despite all that went well, barely snuck over 500.
