I am not a Scrabble nut, have not played it in a long time, but the article was so well written I read it all the way to the end. One little part made me laugh out loud. It mentioned a Simpsons episode in which Homer drew "oxidize" and played "do" (LOL).

I used to play Scrabble a lot when I was much younger. But I only played head to head. I refused to play 3 or 4 person games. When you play against more than one person, you can't control the game.

I've never played online. I wonder what stops people from using dictionaries and/or anagram software.
