I'd vote that memorizing a hundred 2 letter words (many of which you likely already know) is easier than memorizing 26 mnenomics. or, you can just know a bunch

I'd vote that memorizing a hundred 2 letter words (many of which you likely already know) is easier than memorizing 26 mnenomics.
or, you can just know a bunch and guess every once in awhile, gambling that your opponents also don't know all 101 for certain and don't want to risk challenging the one you put down;)

- frossie 15y ago"many of which you already know" is the key. Humans can memorize tens of thousand of words - it is called language. Meaning is your friend. If you are struggling to master the Scrabble two-word list, just look them up in a dictionary. Learning that 'Jo' is Scottish for "sweetheart" is a lot easier to me than treating the words as a pattern of consonants and vowels. And while I am on the subject of word games, iOS users might want to give Quarrel a try. It uses the Scrabble dictionary, so it is a good training tool, but you can always make the anagram, so it is a lot less frustrating to play than looking at a rack full of consonants :-)
