It's official. I'm addicted to Scrabble...

I always knew that I enjoyed playing Scrabble. It is one of the games that Kevin and I love to play against each other. But now that I have a computer version of the game, I am thoroughly addicted. The best part? Now when I play against Kevin, I beat him more than he beats me! I've learned all kinds of new "words" that are in the official Scrabble dictionary: qi, aa, ka, za, to name a few little ones that have scored me some big points recently. And I've gotten quite adept at making multiple words in a single turn (thanks to those little 2-letter words).

I must say, that I debate whether some of these "words" should actually count, though. Recently, while playing against the computer, the computer played the word "alamode." I'm sorry. That is NOT one word. That is THREE words. And they are French words. But if I try to use "oui" it disallows it. Hmph. Of course, if given the situation, don't doubt that I will also use "alamode" and score a BINGO if possible!

aa is a word? Really? Now I remember why I dislike scrabble and just solve sudoku puzzles!
