... because it's true 😪

At a high level, Scrabble isn't about what words you know -- it's about strategy and board control, being able to take advantage of space to play while denying your opponent space.

"The Denying your Opponent Space" is the hardest part.

yeah you can't have that many letters at once

You sound like you scrabble, so have you ever tried playing a round where you can only use combinations of letters that are NOT a word?

Do scrabblers do that?

I mean, I just "invented" it in my mind but immediately decided someone has SURELY done so before, it's probably common.

And does it have a name?

If not, dibs on Elbbarcs!

I played a few games of reverse Scrabble where you try to get the lowest score...

You can swap letters every turn until your opponent gives up and quits.

Don't forget the bluffing aspect

If you're pushy enough, every word is valid

Just memorize all the two letter words.

The Greek alphabet has won me so many games.
