A few more of my time-sinkers are Facebook and Scrabulous. My vocabulary and pattern recognition is so poor though, I’m getting beaten to smithereens. I have to look up so many words. But it is paying off. I know so many new words now, it’s incredible. Did you know that QAT is a valid word? What a handy word for Scrabble! Every now and then when my brain refuses to work anymore, I am ashamed to admit that I cheat…online. I didn’t even know such things existed. The strange thing I’m finding though, as at school, when daring to write out a tiny cheat cheat, I end up learning the material anyway. One cheat is that you can mimic the setup of your exact game and the program will figure out the best words for you. But how very tedious. I’d rather loose than bore myself to that extent. What is handy though, are word lists that I can just scan through, seeing if anything jumps out at me.

Anyway on one of my cheat surfs, I came across Confessions of an Online Scrabble Cheat. How very humorous and true!
