Words are amazing. We use them in so many ways.
Talking - my friends say it's non-stop in my case.
Reading - but am I the only one who sniffs a books before reading it?
Writing - I certainly do lots of that.
Playing games - do children still play hangman?
TV programmes - how many years has Countdown been running?
Crosswords - especially cryptic ones.
But this blog isn't about any of the above. It's about SCRABBLE.
I play friendly Scrabble. No way would I want the stress of championship tournament Scrabble. I'm not good enough anyway. These championship players know all manner of unusual words that are included in the UK Scrabble lexicon.
Did you know that:
FALAJ is a water channel
QANAT is an underground channel
CEZVE is a small metal coffee pot
VUGH is a small rock cavity
DOHL is a drum
AROHA is a Maori word for love
If you've too many vowels then how about:
EOAN relating to the dawn
or
ZOEA crab larva
If you've no vowels how about:
PFFT to suddenly disappear
or
TYG a two-handled mug
If you have any satisfyingly obscure Scrabble words to add to this list then do please share...
