Cardiff Championship, here I come!

Scrabble yn Gymraeg: On the plus side, you'll never get stuck with a Q, X, or Z in your rack. On the minus side, start memorizing your Welsh word list, which is filled with words like camddefnyddio, llyfrau, cymharu, and rhedeg. (ll, dd, rh, and ng are double letter combos that appear on a single tile.) Angenrheidiaeth ("necessity") could yield 164 points, if played across the triple-triple.

Maybe I'll stick with Amurrican words; a new Official Word List for competitive play is due out by the end of the year.

Damn thing better include "qi"

Sandy (one of my Scrabble friends) said that the new list of 2-letter words does indeed include "qi."

Good thing they're not playing in Turkey! Turkish court fines 20 for using letters W and Q.
