Writing True

Scrabble

What’s your favorite game (card, board, video, etc.)? Why?

Aside from being our family’s favorite way to bond, Scrabble is a good way to boost your vocabulary skills. Plus, it’s fun:

Vowels score one.

Consonants vary;

But Q, X, and J are the highest.

Having S and blank tiles are game changing.

Aim for triple and double word lots or letters

To score better.

It’s a bummer

To have so much of the same letter;

Likewise, if you have all consonants.

Ensure in every turn that you score more than your opponent—

And you’d be the winner.

Connect words as much as you can

To master.
