What a wonderful diet! I’ve lost five words already…amazing!
Scrabble is just one addiction to live with. I have three boards of various styles, and one of them is missing a formal “x.” How we figured that out years ago isn’t as fun as the fact that we did. The “x” is whichever extra letter was in the game that my father was able to turn into the “x” with my handy wood-burning tool. That particular board is an heirloom.
The best board in my arsenal is one that rotates, much as a “lazy Susan.” (I have never known a Suzy/Susan to be lazy. Who coined that one?) The difficulty with that board is its non-compact size. You can’t drag it with you on public transportation.
The third board is the travel board, which has seen more action than most people. It is missing the “J” tile, which went AWOL on a train headed to Florence. You need the “J” as it’s worth eight points. If you get it on the triple letter spot, you might Just seal the deal. Or…on the double letter with the triple word…kind of like a skating maneuver. Triple double lutz.
Aside from the recently retired app, Scrabble has been good to me.
