I am an absolutely garbage scrabble player, but I will be keeping this gem in my back pocket… probably a rare case to play it though haha
- conradludgate 4mo agoWith one Z tile and 2 blanks...
- Sparkle-san 4mo agoScrabble only comes with one Z, so some of those are gonna have be sideways N's.
- gjm11 4mo agoAlso, a Scrabble board is 15 squares across and ZENZIZENZIZENZIC is 16 letters, so even with a Scrabble set with extra Zs or blanks you couldn't ever play it.
- dylan604 4mo agoeven if you just played the root zenzic would be great score, but again, the solitary z would make a wee bit difficult
- darth_aardvark 4mo agoIn addition to the Z's everyone else pointed out, Scrabble boards are 15 tiles across. This is 16 letters. You fool. You utter gumdrop.
- graypegg 4mo agoAh! Wrong on the internet! Oh no!
- binary132 4mo agoThis is exactly what first came to my mind as well. Pretty funny scenario to imagine
