Mike Ivanov and I played Scrabble tonight. I got my ass kicked: he won by 58 points, and it would have been more if he’d been able to place his last letter, a V. I’d like to point out a couple of the more awesome words we came up with:
Mike:
box [+ex + so] (55 points: X was on a triple letter score)
squadron (he extended "quad")
mafia [+ soda] (included double word score)
zoo (24 points, double word score)
ore [+ere] (dropping an "r" in the middle of that square was classy)
Me:
greedy [+leased + boxy] (45 points)
wye (I just love this word)
inlet (ditto
ewe
zed (in response to Mike’s "zoo"; also 24 points)

MANILA, Philippines – The new trend in kiddie parties calls for zeroing in on a concept, which can be anything from superhero, cosplay, to fashion show for little kids.
This was a Scrabble game played between eight people in June 2005. We played in teams of two, allowing Dutch, English, French and Spanish. Each language was spoken by people on at least two teams, to prevent cheating by made-up words! It was great fun – and it took a lot less time than unilingual Scrabble.
