Good morning! Do you play board games? My favorite is Scrabble. I'm working to get better at it.
Why do you like scrabble so much?
Because it manages to be both a game of skill and chance. You can't control the draw of letters, but the skill is doing the best you can given what's on the board and what's in your hand...
Do you only play scrabble with your girlfriend?
Mostly that and other word games. I've found women are much better than men at word games.
Why are women better then men at scrabble?
I'm not sure. It might be that they're more attuned to language than men. It could be biology. Or it could be that men don't read as much as women.
Do you find scrabble hard?
It can be *very* hard. To play it well, you have to be flexible in how you think. In its own way and when it's played by people who know what they're doing, it's a hard a game as anything out there...
How do you win scrabble?
By playing the best words you can from your hand to the board and scoring the highest points.
