Apparently his mother said, about teaching him Scrabble:
"When he learnt to talk he wasn't interested in words, just numbers. I said: I know a game you're not going to be very good at because you can't spell very well and you weren't good at English at school."
I guess the sorcery you are looking for is spite.

- liquidise 2y ago> the sorcery you are looking for is spite. Both philosophical and poetic. True brilliance.
- stevage 2y agoScrabble really is a maths game. It just looks like a word game.
- vikingerik 2y agoRight. It's not a word game, it's an area-control game with 150,000 rules for legal placement of your resources. Codenames is a word game. Scrabble is about arbitrary sequences of glyphs.
- stevage 2y agoInterestingly there are versions with more restricted tilesets and hence fever words to learn. Like one that only uses the letters of BOGGLE.
