10 Words That Will Help You Win at Scrabble

Many of us have played Scrabble in our lifetimes. It is a fun game and an excellent tool for building a vocabulary, especially if you are frequently challenged by your opponent and have to reach for the dictionary to prove that your word actually exists.

The linked article contains a list of words with their definitions that are Scrabble-sanctioned and can help you get rid of those hard-to-use letter combinations you sometimes find in your tray.

Good luck!

I have to say that Scrabble has always been and continues to be my favorite word game. I usually end up playing online, however, because my wife doesn't usually want to play and my son is too young. But, there are few things more rewarding than emptying the letter tray on a triple word tile. DO YOU HAVE THE WRITE STUFF?
