    Something about it just seems to miss the point of the game. You would think their dictionary would be cut down to include commonly known words mixed in with some eccentric ones. If anything, to prevent a situation like this where tournament players are just memorizing gobbledygook for points. Seems like it muttles the fun.

      The only good way to play scrabble is by adding the rule that you must play the funniest word you can make.

        I have had the most fun when i used to play with categories for double points. Having to explain why such and such belongs is half the fun.
