I can’t remember not reading and not loving words.
Loving words.
How can you not?
I’m enthralled by them…fascinated.
I love the way they look and the sound they make in different mouths.
Loving words…
I’ve always done crosswords and I love Boggle and Word Whomp and especially Scrabble.
I am wickedly competitive when it comes to scrabble.
We have an annual beach challenge every year and it’s so fun (winning!).
I play online and often play the computer (or “CPU” as it’s known) on Difficult. And that sucks because CPU is a frikken word-descrambler, and regularly gets 3+ seven letter bingos in a game so winning against THAT is a huge challenge. Since I refuse to pay for the game, I am beleaguered by the constant ads. One after every move.
Did I mention that I was fiercely competitive when it came to games?
So there we were…Jim and I. First game of the holiday challenge scrabble series. We draw for first go. He won. Which I was pleased about cos I hate going first. The best you can ever do is a double word score.
I draw my tiles.
Oh Em Gee!
If only I had another “a”…
Jim was gutted. He had crap letters and could only come up with C-A-T.
Ohhhhh look!!! An A!
BINGO.
with…
F-E-L-L-A-T-I-O.
What are the chances?
I think it was 78 points. Oh yeah! What a first move. hehehe
He never recovered.
Hahahaha… nice…. well you wouldn’t enjoy playing me in scrabble because it would be too easy. Now boggle on the other hand, I am pretty good at.
Oh look! A comment! Thanks for reading Drew…and for commenting. I love Boggle.
