scrabble
Does anyone know of an online Scrabble site?
While I was home over Christmas, my mom and I played Scrabble about twice a day. Sometimes way more. That's a lot of hours staring at little wooden tiles.
Out of the approximately fifty games, I won three. Three. My mom kicks my ass every time. It's a classic example of high school graduate vs. Ivy League doctoral student = doesn't mean squat!
She's one of those crossword puzzle people that hauls out bizarre words regularly like "gnu" and I'm like "What the F*&% is that?" (By the way, it's some kind of frickin' yak.)
We were never a boardgame family like my friend Andy's family - who play Scrabble for blood. You've never seen so many seven and eight-letter words.
Mom and I are only in the 350-400 category, but she has a tendency to lay down one seven letter word in every game. I have yet to recognize that opportunity.
With everyone going back to school this week, her house will be mighty quiet again. I think a quality match of online Scrabble might cheer her up.
