Scrabble with Mike

Image by Ko:(char *)hook

Mike Ivanov and I played Scrabble tonight. I got my ass kicked: he won by 58 points, and it would have been more if he’d been able to place his last letter, a V. I’d like to point out a couple of the more awesome words we came up with:

Mike:
box [+ex + so] (55 points: X was on a triple letter score)
squadron (he extended "quad")
mafia [+ soda] (included double word score)
zoo (24 points, double word score)
ore [+ere] (dropping an "r" in the middle of that square was classy)

Me:
greedy [+leased + boxy] (45 points)
wye (I just love this word)
inlet (ditto 🙂
ewe
zed (in response to Mike’s "zoo"; also 24 points)

Magdalena Kozená – Love Songs (Dvorak, Janacek, Martinu)

The composers Antonín Dvorák, Leos Janácek, and Bohuslav Martinu might not be the names that first spring to mind when love songs are mentioned, yet this fascinating collection gives us a taste of what delights we have been missing. They range from seven Moravian folk songs, collected by Janácek at the turn of the century, to songs written by Martinu in the U.S. in 1942. There’s also early Martinu–including songs he collected in Slovakia in 1920–plus the world-premiere recording o

Raise Your Freestyle Rap Vocabulary

A section of the job for a freestyler is always heighten your vocabulary up a notch. In order to do this, it is advisable to looked over the rhyming dictionary. This could also build up your freestyle ability. Now what are some of the ways that you can elevate your vocabulary.

You can easily purchase a physical rhyming dictionary from your local bookstore. There’s also several rhyming dictionaries. A great internet site that I can suggest is rhymer.com. At this website, you can type in a word and find a good number of rhyming words. With this resource, it is possible to search for any words that rhyme with something you happen to be freestyling about.

Allow me to present you with a few other interesting new ways to increase your vocabulary up a notch. This is usually a fun and simple system to take your freestyling towards the next stage. The first approach is to start playing scrabble. Now in case you have a partner that you can partner with, then enlist their help. It is sometimes hard to find a player. Well, thanks to the world wide web, you could get online and play scrabble.

The following strategy that I would advise is to go to the store and buy some crossword puzzle books. They come at all levels. You want to remember that it’s not necessary to shop for the hardest crossword puzzle books that are on the market. The idea is to have fun and at the same time, develop your vocabulary. Work on at least one crossword puzzle regularly. Spend some time playing scrabble every day.

The third approach that I would provide takes you back to the store. See what you could find in the way of wordsearch or cryptogram publications. Let’s begin with the wordsearch books. Now with these I would not advise making them too easy, but at the same time, you don’t want to select a book that is definitely so hard that it takes the fun out of what you are trying to accomplish. You can purchase a newspaper everyday and work the cryptogram in the paper. All of these are ways that you can daily increase your vocabulary.

One last way that I would suggest that you can increase your vocabulary is to believe it or not, start reading through the dictionary. This is a little bit of a tougher job, but even if you learn one word a day, you will raise your vocabulary on a daily basis.

To be a rhymer you have to have your toolbox full of words. What better way to increase your vocabulary than to use most of these suggestions.

Question by Puppy Lover: Does the Words With Friends chat use up texting?

When you send a chat message in the app Words With Friends, will that count in your monthly texting plan, and use it up. Or does it cost money?

Need to know because I’m not playing on my own phone and I’d feel really bad if I used up their texting.

Thanks.

Question by Chloe.: My friend and I are betting over a game of Words with Friends. What should the looser have to do?

we’re both sophomores in high school and we’re playing a game of words with friends. Basically, the looser has to do something embarrassing or something they normally wouldn’t want to do. But what should that be? I’m in charge of coming up with the bet, please help me! By the way, we’re not betting money or anything that has to do with sex.

thanks!
