Tips for playing Scrabble

Scrabble was invented by an unemployed American designer named Alfred Butts, who got  tinkering with a word game in 1933. Primitively called  Lexico, Butts gradually developed the game over the next five years.

If you are  sick of with losing, here are some tips to assist you amend your game.
Don’t utilise “baby” words. By this I have in mind do not get using words like “cow,” “the,” “sun,” “go!” These words are worthless and worth very, very few points. The only time to employ these, is if you have reexamined all possible words. I mean you want to have looked for and picked at your brain for those prominent words you remember from schooling. If you have done all of that and are yet clueless, so go ahead and lay down your three point word.

Placement on the board is essential. For certain, the squares that double and triple your letters and words are the to the highest degree desirable. But there are other ways to double your letters and words when those squares are not useable. Play as much of your word against a word already on the table as you can, adjoining as many letters of both words as possible. That doubles every letter in your word, or at least as many tiles as you are able to line up.

Another tip in playing Scrabble, is to spread out across the board. More often that not, when watching people play scrabble, they constantly seem to fuddle all of their words up onto one side, or one corner. This is ok for a while, but eventually you don’t have any room to play off of words, and your option becomes very throttled. Instead of doing this, try to do words evenly across the board, this will allow for a greater choice, and you will end up with big and better words.

Scrabble helper is a great tool that will obtain words from a given tiles even a blank tiles. 
The next tip is to look out for utile words. I was in a book shop the other day and they had a poster of horse anatomy on display – a veritable gold mine of potentially utile words. Simply browsing through a good dictionary is an diverting and useful practice session. Invariably hold a dictionary in the bathroom and when you are engaged on nature’s business, open  every which way.

Don’t let your adversaries view your tiles. You may consider it isnt a big deal, but if it comes down to a two or three point game, letting an opponent see a tile can end the game.  E.g., you are playing to 300, and the score is you 292, and the opponent 275. If the opponent watches you have an “E”, and an “E” is worth few points and so the opponent knows that whatever they do, they shouldn’t play a word that would assist you in using your “E.”.

Try to use all your tiles up foremost at the end of the game, and don’t get left with high grading tiles in your hand. These count against you at the ending, and are added to the score of the person who finishes foremost.
