Excerpt from the fascinating novel by Stefan Fatsis:
“Brian’s first rating was an expert-level 1812. Within months, he was beating top experts, playing words like KOUMISS, PINNULAE, POLONIUM, and INTROMIT. When one opponent opened with ENTASIS, Brian calmly laid down REALISE atop it, forming seven two-letter words. As a party trick, he would tell people where on a page of the OSPD a particular word could be found…”
Can’t decide if this encourages me to play Scrabble even more, or give up on it entirely.
