Not online against a bot, not a practice game. An actual game against another person.
Mine was QUIXOTIC across a triple word square years ago. Still think about it. Opponent has never forgiven me.
What is yours?
In short i play a lot of competitive chess, mostly online and have been in love with the game forever, and have beaten certain titled master players as an amateur. I just discovered there is a scene for competitive scrabble and my country has national titles for both expert and masters. It is a long road but i love these sort of journeys. I was looking if someone could help me by pointing to resources?
I have looked around myself and i have understood that, one of the first things to do is to memorize CSW24's 2 and 3 word lists. I am onto it. But what next? I saw some expert players make some beautiful bingos and it made my jaw drop as to how cool that was. Moreover what is the website that hosts the most number of players for online play? Ideally i would like to begin playing with bots and then play with real players to figure out my current strength and then analyze my plays to improve.
For context, i do not mind studying a lot. I am not looking for instant results, i am looking to play scrabble throughout my life in tournaments alongside my chess journey.
I searched on the scrabble dictionary and can’t find out what it is. For context it’s the purple row that I’m curious about
I just started playing a few weeks ago, and recently I got one of the rarest bingos in the game (32,270th out of 34,506 words with seven letters - CSW). See if you can find it!

Yes, right this minute, wherever you are. I'm playing right now.
Today while playing “Alice” I learned a new word. I’ve been playing for over 20 years and have never seen this word played before. What are your 4,5, 6 letter words that surprise you years after playing this game? Please share!
Vastest game of Scrabble, I've ever played with my nan. Usually we end up getting stuck in awkward corners and end up submitting very futile words, however this game proved to be very loose and allowed us to submit words confidently. The end score ended up being 276 vs 236, leaving me as the ultimate victor. We aren't as professional Scrabble players as most of y'all are here, but Scrabble is always our favourite game to play.
The DARK tile positions must remain fixed at the START and END of the solutions.
The LIGHT tiles can take any other position.

This whole time I’ve been scouring the board trying to guess if there are available letters still in the bag. The information was there all along!
Hey there,
I was recently given this older almost complete Travel Scrabble set that's in great condition. Only issue is it's missing one "O" tile. I know there are a bunch of replacement tiles for the regular sized Scrabble but I'm not having much luck finding any for the travel sized version. Any ideas other than trying my luck on EBay or Facebook Marketplace? Ideally, I'd like to keep the tiles the same color for consistency.
I never really post to Reddit but thought people might find this a fun challenge. Sorry if it’s been done and mentioned before.
The idea is to try and beat the computer set on hard but only use sweeps (all seven letters) to each time. So you can swap letters or pass turns but can’t play anything but sweeps right to the end. Taken me a few days and plenty of cancelling games early but got the tile swap technique better today and had a few close ones (one by a point ffs) then finally wormier came in woooo! Great relief. Lots of luck involved too.
I am no pro at all and don’t know all the mad words in the dictionary by a long shot but it was fun anyway. So thought others might enjoy it. Happy to share my chatbot (in the game post analysis) word order with anyone. Chatbot in the game said my letter luck was 70 which is quite high so guess the challenge could be to win with lower luck than that. HYDRATES, PILLAGER, BRASHES, TEARING, WORMIER.
Best of luck if anyone fancies trying

Exciting to 2 TW’s which are rare for me.
I posted the board earlier this week, but took the post down because I wanted to wait to get some photos of my ring!
We got engaged and Scrabble is the reason for it!
It’s a lifesaver!
We play so many games a week — sometimes four a day — and my fiancé Ben is scoring near expert level some games, with a notable 650 score just a few weeks ago.
I love Scrabble — it has brought us so close together.
My fiancé Ben would also like to shout-out Will Anderson. We used to play Scrabble as a hobby but our strategy has vastly improved since watching his YouTube Channel. He is truly a gift to the scrabble community.
This is gonna sound cheesy, but there’s nothing better than spending a Saturday playing scrabble then capping it off by watching Will Anderson game breakdowns on YouTube.
