Following on from this thread Saw this on my local news , looks like a road worker got a nasty zap - https://www.electriciansforums.net/threads/saw-this-on-my-local-news-looks-like-a-road-worker-got-a-nasty-zap.195592/page-2#post-1723768 , would anyone like to have @Dan add Scrabble or any other (sensible) game modules to here? Personally, I quite enjoy a good game!

My wife is a genius at scrabble. We've been married 21 years and I've won at scrabble twice.
It might be quite refreshing to play someone else who doesn't know every frigging two letter word there is....!

WAGO isn’t in the scrabble dictionary

Neither is Wetpants or Knobskull

Sticky?

Interesting. It appears the word “gullible” isn’t in the dictionary either.

To be fair I don't play scrabble, so I just searched for "No of points for sticky in scrabble".

It's a fickle(15) thing is Scrabble. The skill isn't in just knowing words it's knowing where and how to play them and also how to think ahead. For example, you only get one Q in a game, but four U's. So I might have both Q and U in my rack but choose not to use them together, instead doing something like playing UPON, knowing that next go I hope to make use of the U again by playing the Q across the other plane.

Keep the Q for the word QI.
I managed to drop it on a triple letter once that had 2 i’s on different planes….. 62 points

It's a useful letter to start a parallel adjacent word with another, making two letter words as you do, using just that technique - for example

I
N
T
E
N
T

E
Q I
U N
I T
P E
. N
. T

I do think once it gets , nit picky with 2 letter words , the English comprehension lesson has gone out of the window.
( I was disappointing - never been a speed thinker )
(expecting to be better than I was)
Practice makes perfect.
