Beat: I suck at scrabble
So I was playing Scrabulous with some of my friends. Then I find myself thinking, "Is ZIN a word?"
Later I can't think of the bingo for TISANEC. What should I do?!? |

Re: Beat: I suck at scrabble
i'm not sure if CANIEST is good, but ACETINS 100% is. ZIN is good. ZEN is not. fyi, TISANE + almost every other letter makes a 7 letter bingo. its the best stem out there. only exceptions (from memory) are J Q and Y |

Re: Beat: I suck at scrabble
The answers are ACETINS and CINEAST. I used to know at least one bingo word for each of the major stems (TISANE, RETINA, TINERS, etc) and all the 3 letter words, but NOW I DO NOT AND I AM MAD

Re: Beat: I suck at scrabble
The amount of memorization work that goes into being competitive at even the most basic levels of Scrabble seems very discouraging to me. It's kind of a turnoff for me. At least with chess I can largely ad lib (and stay away from openings where my lack of theoretical knowledge will kill me.)
