Good Scrabble Words

[Hokie]

I used "quoit" on a triple word. It helped me finally beat my wife who is a crossword puzzle freak. What are some other great Scrabble words?

11. I'm a fairly serious Scrabble player myself

though lately, it's been the computer and me mostly. If you want help with some great Scrabble words and can be logged on while you're playing, try this guy's site. He has stuff for chess, too, but his Scrabble solution pages are second to none. He provides everything from 2 and 3 letter words, to words with lots of vowels or lots of consonants, or unusual words, along with an anagram solver, a scrabble solver (the difference is the anagram solver can give you words for up to 12 letters, the scrabble solver can work with the blanks), and much more. The solvers are Java based.

Against the computer, my highest score has been about 443, and I've reached the "Master" level. I think it's suicidal for me to try the Champion level, though. :)

13. Scrabble question

I have an older version of Scrabble that I used up until I got my new computer with XP. Does the version that works with XP work OK? I have heard there were problems so I have put off buying a new one.
I really miss my Scrabble!
