Travel Scrabble

scrabble

Image by _ambrown

You walked into the room
And the whole place stopped to notice
Standing next to you, I feel hopeless and you know this
I’ve never been ashamed of my attraction
I’d be happy if you gave me just a fraction
As we danced, I could see in your eyes
You and me as senior citizens in love

I followed your perfume out away from all the rabble
Right up to your room for a drink and travel Scrabble
You, stationed in the warm glow of the t.v.
Too patient as I’m playing L(1)O(1)V(4)E(1)

And we laugh…and we laugh…and we laugh
And we have to or we’ll end up in the bath

Now we’re in the bath, I’m already thinking marriage
I know that in the past it was something I’d disparage
You turned down all the lights, I lit the candles
We rolled around in robes and hotel sandals
Then you slept, and I dressed, and I left
And I guess I’ll see you Monday like before

Before all the fireworks exploded
Our conversations were so loaded, innuendo flying
Now what can we say?
Have a nice day
Looks like rain today…

Now I’m in a cab, heading back to my apartment
Everything is drab, and I wish it never started
Now I’ve landed in this awkward situation
How can I just avoid a conversation?
So I wait, come in late. It’d be great,
If you transferred out of state.

Improving Your Skills to Optimize Your Scrabble Online Game Play

If you enjoy playing Scrabble Online, it is important to know and understand that there are several ways that you may improve your skills. By taking the time to optimize your skills, you will discover that you receive higher scores while playing this game both online and offline. Many individuals feel that Scrabble is nothing more than a word game. However, this could not be further from the truth. Scrabble is more than a word game or a spelling game; it is a game of skill and careful consideration. Throughout this guide, you will learn the ways that you will be able to enhance your skill set in this popular game.

When playing Scrabble Online, it is important to ensure that you take the time to learn the letters that many popular words start with and end with. By doing so, you will be able to sort the letters that contribute to the beginning and ending of words more easily from your rack. For example, you know that there are many words that start with the letters “UN” and “TH”. It is in your best interests as a player to keep these letter tiles in your rack and to place them on the left side of the rack. This ensures that you know that these tiles are for the beginning of words. In the same respect, you know that many words end in the letters of “ER” and the letter “S”. You will want to keep these tiles and place them on the right side of your rack. If you like playing games online you need to check out Scrabble Blast.

The next way to increase the amount of points that you acquire in Scrabble Online is to observe the words carefully that are on the board. It is important to remember that you may successfully add a letter or more to words that are already in play. For example, if the word “rook” is in play, you could add a “C” to the beginning and an “S” to the end in order to create the word “crooks”. These words are often referred to as “Hooks”. Additionally, it is important to keep an eye on any and all opportunities that are associated with the bonus squares that are included in the game. If you are able to play the hooks on the bonus squares, you will find that you are able to obtain an even higher score than you have on your best game in the past.

If you want to improve your skills in playing Scrabble Online, it is important that you learn a variety of words that contain a lot of vowels. Then, once you build up vowels in your rack, you are more likely to create many different words that will allow you the capability of earning quite a bit of points during game play. Examples of words that include a large number of vowels that could assist in increasing the amount of points that you have include those such as “Aeon”, “Ease”, “Eave”, “Bookie”, and “Aura”. As you can see, there are many different ways that you may successfully build up your skills in Scrabble Online in order to optimize the amount of points that you accumulate in the game.

Scrabble: An Inside Look At one of the Most Popular iPhone Apps

Over the years, Scrabble has been one of the more popular board games for people of all ages. Now you can take your favorite classic Hasbro word game anywhere you go, thanks to the Scrabble iPhone app released by Electronic Arts.

Electronic Arts has been in business since 1982. Since that time, the company, commonly known as EA, has developed many popular games for various gaming consoles, personal computers, wireless devices, and the Internet. EA is headquartered in Redwood City, CA and has grown to the point that it employed over 9000 people worldwide in the year 2008. Today, EA is perhaps best known for its sports and action based video games, including the Madden NFL series and the Need for Speed games. The popularity of EA’s iPhone apps, such as the Scrabble one, cannot be ignored, however.

Since its release on July 9, 2008, the Scrabble iPhone app has sold very well in the iTunes store as well as on Gamestop’s website. In fact, the Scrabble iPhone app is ranked in the top 1300 of over 9600 iPhone and iPod game apps available through Gamestop.

Basic game play is the same as the board game, and the Scrabble iPhone app has many positive points. Users are very pleased with the options for solo play, including the fact that the CPU you play against is actually a challenging opponent and not one that is impossible to beat or far too easily defeated. You can also play alone without a computer opponent. Multiplayer options include pass and play for playing with friends in person, multiplayer Wi-Fi for online play, and even a Facebook app. The clear graphics and ease of play with the Scrabble iPhone app are also praised by users. The low cost of this app only adds to its appeal.

If you enjoy the classic board game of Scrabble, you will definitely love the Scrabble iPhone app. You will be able to enjoy your favorite game and expand your vocabulary everywhere you go. EA has certainly scored a home run with the Scrabble iPhone app, and this app is a must for even the occasional Scrabble player.
