This is exactly the kind of player that I'm training myself to go up against. I'd probably lose if I played Mehal TODAY, but give me a year. I WILL memorize most of the good words. Keep in mind that Scrabble is not a game of infinite possibilities word-wise. And in my online Scrabble playing trends have already started to emerge. And I'll know if the other person is lying about their word choice.
Yeah, absolutely true on both points. Much of my talk doesn't work in clubs or tournaments, and I can't bluff as well there. What I do enjoy doing at club is playing with absurdly low time limits, like 5:00. Lots more hijinks that way. I'm still a blue-carder at the club and consider it a super good day if I walk away breaking 400. When I do win, it's usually a sub 300 game with a closed off board and with my opponent having very little clock time left.
Bingo is a slang term used in Scrabble for a play using all seven of one's tiles. A player who does this receives 50 points in addition to what the word would normally score. In the United Kingdom, this is more often called a bonus (the term sanctioned by Mattel, the game's manufacturers there), but is occasionally called a bingo. Bingos are an important part of achieving high scores in Scrabble. While a beginner might be lucky to score even one during a game, experts frequently score three or more. Much advanced strategy revolves around making bingos: blank tiles are hoarded, unwelcome letters are played even for a low score, and flexible letter groups like AEINST (a six-letter stem which anagrams with 23 letters -- all but J, Q, and Y -- to form nearly 70 bingos) are built up until a bingo is formed. This strategy is often at direct odds with that of placing high-value letters on premium squares. A common misconception is that the bonus received for using all seven tiles is multiplied if a double-word or triple-word score is used. This is not the case: a 9-point word using seven tiles played across a triple-word score is worth 77 points (3 times 9 plus 50 points for the bonus). Bingo examples[edit] These facts are according to the SOWPODS lexicon as amended in 2006. The highest scoring 7-letter bingo is "MUZJIKS". The tiles total 29 points and it scores 128 on the first move. The highest scoring 8-letter bingo is "QUIZZIFY" (using a blank for one of the Zs). Placed on two triple-word squares with the Z on a double letter square it scores 419. The highest scoring 8-letter bingos without a blank are "BEZIQUES" and "CAZIQUES", which amount to 392 points when played across two triple-word squares. The lowest possible score for a bingo is 56. This is achieved by making an eight-letter word with six one-point tiles and two blanks. The word must not be doubled or tripled, and no one-point tile may be doubled or tripled. The highest scoring 15-letter bingo is theoretically "OXYPHENBUTAZONE" (an anti-inflammatory drug most often used to treat arthritis). With 8 letters already placed between three triples, the word can score 1785.[1] There are no reports of a triple-triple-triple ever being played in a competitive game, as it requires very unlikely circumstances. Based on the tile frequency, the most likely bingos in SOWPODS are "OTARINE" and "NOTAIRE", followed by "ETAERIO"
+Frank Albarran somebody on isc played oxyphenbutazone. i believe s/he is a helper, i forget where from though. england, maybe. the game might've been rigged to allow for the play but it's in their library.
In the club & tournament rules, commenting about bluffs (or real words), and offering definnitions is not allowed. We play by penalty challenge and by one set dictionary. Playing your tiles in score-maximizing ways and bluffing is still legal. Players there average 350 and higher, so you better know your words.
Lu, You can't win your grandma. She is already your grandma. You can, however, beat her in a game of scrabble. But, I agree, why would you want to win so badly? Anny
its OK, but most of these tips are common sense really, the only technical part is when he shows examples of good and bad boards and words to use in those cases but he doesn't go into details there so really there's not much to learn in this presentation.

This is awesome. A lot of these tactics I already employ, but some others I'd not yet thought of and for that I thank you!

Loving this one, I'm definately going to use some of these tips next time I play!
Brilliant - well done!
aha that was awesome

That was so epic! I'm ready to beat my grandma at scrabble now. BRING IT.
@russellnation So you'd rather play someone who takes it easy on you?
All of these tricks are well-known to tournament Scrabble players. Watch "Word Wars" to see the masters in action.
This was very helpful :)
So funny!!!
Do you have any tips on playing Tic Tac Toe ?

7 people were beaten by this guy in Scrabble.
Funny!
I challenege everyone who has a "board game night" to a "survive 5 minutes in a dark room with me" night. Bring whatever dictionary you want.
does winning honestly not count for anything?

This isn't cheating at all. Most of you don't seem to have watched the video. You have to do more than read the misleading title before condemning it.
@5kkumar So you'd rather play someone who takes it easy on you? Wuss.
hahaha...how badly do you want to win your grandma at scrabble?!
@luiohh So you'd rather play someone who takes it easy on you? Wuss.
@battlehappy Find me in a year and we'll get it on.
my grandma is not a prize you can't win her
For example, WaffleEgo, with a big ego, and maybe big waffles, posted a crappy comment.
