LET’S PLAY SCRABBLE.   Scrabble Practice Round.

• Each person draws a letter. The letter closest to A goes first. (Blank beats A.)
• Draw continues clockwise (to the left) after that.
• If no one volunteers, the person with the letter farthest from A is scorekeeper.
• Put those letters back and draw seven (7) each.
• Keep a running total, like this (don’t write what’s in the parentheses):

• First player must put the word down with a letter on the Star (2x word)  in the middle.
• Left to right, top to bottom; not diagonal, not bottom to top!
• Suggestion: no more than 2 minutes per person.
• NO! NO! NO!
  • NO abbreviations or contractions
  • NO foreign words
  • NO proper nouns (nouns you would normally capitalize)
• Check the dictionary.

Multiplier squares are one use only! Once they’re covered up, they’re used up!

Sometimes I think there ain’t none of us pure crazy and ain’t none of us pure sane until the balance of us talks him that-a-way. It’s like it ain’t so much what a fellow does, but it’s the way the majority of folks is looking at him when he does it.”
