Scrabble words…
Every day I set aside a little bit of time to play Scrabble on-line with other players all around the world. OK, It’s not really Scrabble, but close enough. I play a game called Lexulous.
I keep a book called Scrabble Words close at hand just in case I need a little help. I’m learning new words every day and hopefully, this distraction is serving to keep my mind sharp.
I didn’t realize just how fabulous this book is until just the other day. I play a version of Lexulous which uses the SOWPODS dictionary. These are words with a certain Anglocentric flavor. I play a lot of people in England, Scotland, Wales, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa. I just realized that this book which was given to me as a Christmas gift is actually British. It cost ten pounds!
I love it.
