Summary of Everything Scrabble

For both the beginner and the seasoned pro, this how-to book from the National Scrabble Association offers all the keys to better play:

  • Basic board strategies for surefire results
  • Turn the enemy -- Q -- into your best friend: a winner's list of Q words with and without U
  • Master the terrific "twos" -- a complete list of two-letter words that can boost your scoring average by thirty to forty points
  • Maximize your score with bonus squares and parallel play -- including triple triples, the pinnacle of SCRABBLE scoring success
  • Make more seven-letter plays -- and earn a fifty-point bonus
  • Secrets to getting better tiles
  • How to get your words' worth with high-point tiles J, X, and Z
  • Words with no vowels
  • How the world's greatest players win -- twenty-eight examples of outstanding SCRABBLE play

    Featuring a rare interview with the SCRABBLE game inventor, the late Alfred Mosher Butts, this extensively illustrated guidebook covers all facets of the game and worldwide SCRABBLE culture, including the clubs, tournaments, champions and rules, and playing SCRABBLE with children, plus a complete history of the game.


    This book opens with an introduction to the game, follows up with instruction on advanced play, and ends with valuable information for those preparing for tournament-level competition. But there's far more to this tome than the how-to material. It's also a reference manual with such valuable information as a list of crucial but uncommon two-letter words (do you know what a "Li" is?) and a number of words that require a Q but no U. Exercise puzzles are included so you can practice what you learn.
