Here are the highlights from the seven (7) Scrabble games played last
night,
Wednesday, November 5, 2008, at the Dover Scrabble Club (Delaware).
We use
the American Heritage dictionary and do not allow phony words.
Still,
we make longer words and score more points than you. Don't believe
me?
Take a look at how this incredible claim stands up relative to the top
games
played in the recent 2008 National Scrabble Championship:
