Facebook used to have a word game based on scrabble. I think it was called "Word."

I tried playing it with relatives. At first, I was pathetic. Eventually, I got the hang of it and because unbeatable.

They all pulled the "turn the board over" trick.

The latest iteration of the game was so infantile that I stopped playing.

For the elite players, produce a version with letters in cursive.

They should quit screwing around and make an ebonics version

When I was a child there was a Scrabble JR.

Did they stop making it?

[linMcHlp]

So “mother” and “father” are no longer.

SCRABBLE for USAF Academy cadetistas

Direct effect of the poor education in any govt schools today. Scrabble to cover for the woke system.

All tiles are blank, so they mean anything you want them to...

I have the deluxe version that locks the tiles in place and is mounted on a turntable.

Kelsey says thank you, using perfect grammar.

[DPMD]

As long as they identify as words.

I heard that learning to play piano is difficult too. Maybe if they had less keys would help.

Is there a safe space on the game board?

Comes with a free version of Glenn Beck’s Moron Trivia.

In a related story, Mattell is going to change “Chutes and Ladders” so everyone is a winner at the end of the game.

Love it. Me too. My mom is 90 and still plays. She hates slow players. Do you use the hour glass timer?

[yuleeyahoo]

When the other players agree to it.

It’s been dumbed down for idiots

[chickenlips]

So it’s no longer a drinking game? What fun is that?
