Athletics is just people who did the same movement over and over again until they got good at it. Totally skill free.
Just wait until they hear about moral luck
At a high level, Scrabble isn’t about what words you know – it’s about strategy and board control, being able to take advantage of space to play while denying your opponent space.
“The Denying your Opponent Space” is the hardest part.
yeah you can’t have that many letters at once
You sound like you scrabble, so have you ever tried playing a round where you can only use combinations of letters that are NOT a word?
Do scrabblers do that?
I mean, I just “invented” it in my mind but immediately decided someone has SURELY done so before, it’s probably common.
And does it have a name?
If not, dibs on Elbbarcs!
Sounds like it would be a lot easier, and even more of a ‘board control’ game.
And you’d be able to play your whole 7 letters in pretty much every turn (if you wanted to), since you’ll always be able to find some combination of your 7 letters that doesn’t form a real word. Or … at least almost always? I find it hard to imagine any combination of 7 letters that will always spell a real word no matter which order you put them in.
I played a few games of reverse Scrabble where you try to get the lowest score…
You can swap letters every turn until your opponent gives up and quits.
Are you really playing the least serious scrabble to win at the cost of all fun though?
… because it’s true 😪Don’t forget the bluffing aspect
If you’re pushy enough, every word is valid
Just memorize all the two letter words.
I don’t know what the fuck xu means, but I’ve gotten 50+ points with it many times
The Greek alphabet has won me so many games.
