Scrabble Quickies!

Recently, a record-breaking game occurred at the Lexington Scrabble® Club. The winner's score was 830, the loser's score was 490, and the total was 1320!

Club statistician Mike Wolfberg offers play-by-play and historical notes.
The Boston Herald has a picture of winner Michael Cresta (but not Wayne Yorra).
Stefan Fatsis has a thorough game analysis and interesting comments at slate.com.

Bonus Scrabble quickie: nifty furniture installation from the London offices of Bloomberg financial services. I want these. (Thanks to everyone who forwarded the link to me!)

p.s. Be careful when playing Iwan in Scrabble.

I'd have thought there were other reasons not to play me....

You know, you could have spelled "theodolite" (if you'd had all the letters).
