Lettris

Lettris is a curious tetris-clone game where all the bricks have the same square shape but different content. Each square carries a letter. To make squares disappear and save space for other squares you have to assemble English words (left, right, up, down) from the falling squares.

boggle

Boggle gives you 3 minutes to find as many words (3 letters or more) as you can in a grid of 16 letters. You can also try the grid of 16 letters. Letters must be adjacent and longer words score better. See if you can get into the grid Hall of Fame !

How to Win at Scrabble

                   

How To Win At Scrabble is a book by Andrew Fisher and David Webb which is aimed at introducing beginners at the game of Scrabble to entry-level tournament play. It was first published in 2004 by Batsford and contains 160 pages.

The book is split into ten chapters, each addressing a different part of the game.

  1. Introduction: A justification for the book, and an introduction to the authors, who are top players of tournament Scrabble.
  2. Words: A discussion of the relative usefulness of different words, from the essential two-letter words to the highly obscure six-letter words.
  3. Word Learning: Explanation of the word-learning techniques that all top players must use. Includes the first published description of the "atomic bomb of Scrabble learning", a technique invented and promoted by former World Champion Joel Wapnick.
  4. Strategy: An introduction to the strategical aspects of the board, including discussion of board position and the relative utility of different letters.
  5. The Endgame: The endgame is considered one of the most important and difficult aspects of Scrabble, and a whole chapter is devoted to it.
  6. Mental Approach: Exploration of the psychological aspects of Scrabble, akin to the work of a sports psychologist in athletics.
  7. Improving Your Game: Tips on how to improve and measure your progress.
  8. Scrabble Resources And Playing Equipment: A short chapter on the details on the equipment used in major tournaments and contact details for Scrabble players' associations.
  9. Competitive Scrabble: An introduction to the world of tournament Scrabble.
  10. World Championship Annotated Game: A move-by-move discussion of the final of the 1999 World Scrabble Championship, in which Joel Wapnick beat Mark Nyman by a single point.

The book received good reviews from many top players ([1]) and is widely considered to be the best introductory text for beginners hoping to improve their game.
