I never got massively into the list-learning obsessive side of scrabble, but I do know those.
I could prolly still crank out all the 2-letter legal words too, but I'm not sure, s'been an awful long while since i've played scrabble.

I've learned to write down the words I don't know and to make flashcards of them. I haven't had time to do that lately, though.

Those words ruin the enjoyment for me. I think I need a Scrabble home rule that says you have to have used or read the word somewhere to use it. When's the last time you've used or seen any of these words in print?

They're legitimate words. And there's only, like, seven of them.

Part of the enjoyment of Scrabble, for some people, is finding these little niches, these ways of disposing of letters.

Anyway, I reference the Scrabble dictionary because that's what the online Boggle game uses. They're made by the same manufacturer, you know.
