The cheating was spotted by a player at a nearby table, who noticed the ejected player conceal a pair of blank tiles by dropping them on the floor, organizers said. Blank tiles can be used as wild card letters. When confronted by the tournament director, he admitted to it, organizers said.
Uh oh, Kwyjibo on the loose!
the cheater must be a democrat
I surprised this guy wasn’t arrested and attempted fraud charges brought against him. The prize was $10,000, so winning by cheating certainly would amount to larceny.
I wuz caught cheating at Parcheesi once but dang it, it was a high-stakes game...
That’s nothing, man, I was once rejected from a Pick Up Sticks National Tournament.
Who would have thought that Biden would even think of entering a Scrabble tournament?
The next day he admitted in was very infanTILE of him to do this.
what’s wrong with this kid that cheating at a scrabble tournament is some how a good idea? How can you be sooo focussed on a game-—as GAME fer cryin out loud-—that you want to chet to win...Oh yeah O is the example never mind
Once upon a time when I was playing Scabble with my uncle, he decided he could add “fox” to my existing “moon” to yield a nice score with “moon fox”.
I objected. There is no such thing as a “moonfox”.
I lost the argument but noticed at once that I was holding a “y” and there was a triple word score square open right next to that “x” in “moonfox”.
Faster than greased lightning I placed that “y” next to that “x” creating a word describing the main characteristic of a “moonfox” : “moonfoxy”.
I won that argument and the game.
Pretty serious about their craft that Scrabble crowd is.
The poker game must had ran longer than expected.
