Scrabble Judge

I adjudicate SCRABBLE Brand Crossword Game words I see mentioned on Twitter. Unacceptable words get * (JU*) Words acceptable outside N. America only get # (JA#)

@rober_big Your mates are wrong! BLITZ is a great word.

[Scrabble Judge @ScrabbleJudge]

@arimap Correct! Excellent Play!

[Scrabble Judge @ScrabbleJudge]

@HeinzKetchup_US Actual Pro Tip: HEINZ* is worth 0 points when it gets challenged off the board.

Outside of North America, HIZEN# is worth 17 at least, but really you should be aiming for some premium squares to up that score!

@AthLib420 @scrabble https://t.co/2afAeiQpql. It's bare-bones but pretty good.

@echinaceaderm You're looking for Word Freak by @stefanfatsis. And it's a great book!

[Scrabble Judge @ScrabbleJudge]

@DaveDowley1 Yes it can - you have too many tiles on your rack. Once you sort that out, either exchange or play EUOI#

[Scrabble Judge @ScrabbleJudge]

You could always ask (and play) WHY!?!?!

[Scrabble Judge @ScrabbleJudge]

@Jerryturner262 @Righteous_Babes Play BRR! or if there's nowhere for it, find an open R for BRRR.

[Scrabble Judge @ScrabbleJudge]

@KarinaSapienza @ColbyBrock Look for a U for BOUNCILY!

[Scrabble Judge @ScrabbleJudge]

@shivhearne @SCRABBLE_EA When you start a new game, choose as your language either English (Collins) - with the British flag, or English TWL - with the American flag. Either of these are tournament-level word lists where you can play SHIT and all sorts of other naughty words.

[Scrabble Judge @ScrabbleJudge]

@Skyferishot @iain_harley No need to SNIPE at each other. It's okay if one PINES for a flashier play, but don't take PEINS and hit each other with them.

[Scrabble Judge @ScrabbleJudge]

@azulbuho @presentcorrect I don't think anyone would want to play a game with you when you make these accusations.

[Scrabble Judge @ScrabbleJudge]

EM is certainly acceptable, as are EN, ESS, AR, EL, WYE, and others (though not all that @presentcorrect list here - no KEW* or DJEE*).

[Scrabble Judge @ScrabbleJudge]

This is perfect for an -ING addition for a nice easy 48 points.

[Jen Keeney @jenkeeney]

Whoa. Mom comes out swinging in the opening round of Scrabble.

[Scrabble Judge @ScrabbleJudge]

Starting in February, EW, OK, and ZEN will all be playable in tournaments in North America. You can use them now if you're playing at home!

[Scrabble Judge @ScrabbleJudge]

@ChrisSu95422095 @JesseThorn @hodgman Actually, top-level Scrabble players have a wide variety of backgrounds, from Doctorates to high-school dropouts.

[Scrabble Judge @ScrabbleJudge]

It's slang for a detective. Nothing wrong with that :P

[Scrabble Judge @ScrabbleJudge]

Presuming you're outside North America (which, judging by your SCRABBLE set and twitter profile, you are) - JEDI is an acceptable play! (also look for a free C, R, or S for JUICED, JURIED, or JUDIES)

The Force was with me at Scrabble today 😁👍
