Lately, I’ve been renewing my Scrabble addiction thanks to my boss, Kate, and to the Internet Scrabble Club. Kate and I were limited to matches with the mini Travel Scrabble set at the pub next door to the office, until I stumbled upon the ISC earlier this week. Now, I can be sitting at home (like yesterday) and she can be in the office, and I can still kick her lexicographically challenged butt. (Actually we’re split even on wins-losses and I’m ahead by one measly point in total scores, so it’s pretty competitive so far.)
Even better, you can play against the ISC computer, which is a damn sharp Scrabble player. Unfortunately, I can’t figure out where the hell it’s getting some of these words from. Whenever I challenge one of its crazy words, it wins the challenge. Unfortunately, the dictionary is built-in and you never see the interface. Hmmm……
I just found out that the 2001 World Scrabble Championships ended yesterday. I could have watched the games live on the Internet! Doh! But I can still replay all of the games in the tournament.
