Scrabble dictionary of EVIL

Let me warn you of two things:

1) Whatever you do, don't ever ever EVER purchase a Scrabble dictionary. It's like this Pandora's box you'd wish you'd never opened. It sucks all the life out of the game and degrades you into this page-flipping zombie.

First we let Da Midget play with the dictionary while LP and I used only our wits. Then LP started to flip through it and finally me. Once you see one impossible two-letter word, then another you begin to expect every 'en', 'em' and 'jo' to be followed with a definition making it all real. Don't let this happen to you.

You could argue I'm just bitter cuz I got my ass kicked all weekend. Maybe!
With my advantage in literacy gone, LP could make full use of her 9-letter vs. 7-letter advantage.



I lost the third and final game 241-219 but the second? The LP vs. Daddy duel?
Let me show you.



350 to 311. I'm not making this up.

2) Don't look at these photos. Avert your eyes from the Scrabble boards, at least. Every word on the board IS LEGAL. I promise you they are. But looking at the possibilities will forever...warp...your...mind.

You have been WARNED.






This is game 3. It was actually quite evenly matched until LP dropped an absolute bombshell from outta nowhere. Can you tell which word that was?





I was actually whomping her pretty good in the duel. When she dropped the 87-point 'Abortions?' She was still BEHIND my score. But LP wrapped up the game with devastating triple-word combinations while I was wheezing on leftover letters.

But I still taught em who was boss.
Cuz then we started building Card Houses.



Not so happy NOW are we LP?





Even Da Midget could build a second story...
despite the barely-played, still waxy cards making things tough.

WHO'S your Daddy? Who's your Daddy? Oh, wait. Never mind.

Ah, but looking at the dictionary to come up with words *is* illegal!!! Yea, using the dictionary changes the whole game. My sister in law didn't play very well when she started so my brother allowed her to use the dictionary. Cheating is what I call it.... But now she is at the same level as my family.

I prefer to only use the dictionary for challenges. But I guess some need the dictionary to get up to the same level.

Those were some high scores!

I can't get this link to work at the moment but keep going back and trying. This is the best video I've seen about SCRABBLE. You will be able to relate.

I played Scrabble with Todd not too long ago.

My first word was Marina.

At least you had fun!

Haha, I'm grinning at the other words on the first board photo!

What are those pictures on the UNO cards? Barbie faces?
