LOL not really... But, this is fun for us. This game is meant for those who are knowledgeable of incredibly rare words and not just words we already know. English majors can do this, but you're looking for linguists, who deal with language and words specifically.

Did you hear that right? They said there's math in it. English Majors like us don't necessarily do a lot of math or logic/strategy. Heck, we're not essentially the best at vocabulary either. Try a Math Major.

I have to say- This is just as uninteresting as I imagined when I read the title. The players look like the most stereotypical scrabble people I could ever imagine. Also, it's one of those games where the community is so small that the best player isn't even really impressively good at the game. Sorry, but your game really doesn't have an amazing competitive scene, all in your head.

I didn't know od, ag, aerugo, horal, varve, yuzu, or probably other words on that board were words either. Probably a ton of words on all the other boards I didn't know of either. That's the thing about scrabble, it's a game primarily about memorization. It uses other factors as well, but if you don't know words are or how to spell them, it doesn't matter how good at math you are, or whatever the heck they claimed the other skills were that made it such a supposedly skillful game.

I love Scrabble because it reminds me of good times with my grandma, "Nunu". Don't worry, Nunu is still alive and well at almost 90 years old! I just don't get to see her very often :) I remember one time we both Bingoed as the first two plays! I played "turtles" and then she played "coasters" off my "s". Nunu would be an awesome professional Scrabble player. I think she even got the Triple Word Score. Rookie mistake on my part. I love videos like this. They are so wholesome. Thanks for sharing!

I was half-expecting the worst scrabble play to be the guy who played 'op'.

I kinda want to get into things like scrabble and chess, it just seems so fulfilling (like most things you put time into for yourself) actually seeing the progression in your gameplay.
My favorite play: Rack was GIINNOY. An M was sitting at O-11 allowing me to score 176 with IGNOMINY. But not long ago I was quite pleased with myself to play IMBICILE. Only problem was my opponent, and practically everyone else, knows the word is IMBECILE. Humbled by the mistake and amused by the irony.
I never played scrabble and have no interest on it, I just like hearing masters at their craft/sport/game/hobby talk about what they do.
these guys look like they haven't seen the sun in decades

Nigel is a friend of my dad's. We played a card game at my house and he literally memorised every card everyone played ...
I love when you upload great content like this. Keep the good work.
This is the most pale collection of people I've ever seen.
I thought the second guy was going to say "I played Will Anderson and opened with OP"
I honestly loved this
This is a great video for a learner who wants to be great in scrabble

These recommendations during quarantine are unbelievable
I played a game online where my opponent had about a 100 point lead on a closed board at the end of the game. Managed to open up a triple and I played all my tiles for something like 110, plus all the points for the letters they had left, won by a couple. What's particularly interesting is probably any other move they make wins the game, as it's the only instance I can think of of someone making the worst move possible.
You had me at Professional scrabble players

I’m playing an embarrassing amount of Scrabble in lockdown, so you bet I’m watching this as training 😅
Great plays
I have always wished, since my childhood, that competitive Scrabble was present in my country. I wish it isn't too late.
She’s so right its all about the journey not the end! Best life lesson there! :)
Me and mt boyfriend have started playing Scrabble together. He's more used to mathematical games and I'm better at words and wordplay and its kinda cool how like ur viewpoint changes. Whenever I played more math based games w/ him I couldn't understand how he does it but when I play Scrabble or other word games w/ him he feels the same way lol
I saw a, and immediately thought of floccinaucinihilipilification
i remember playing SOPHOCLES for a bingo with my last letters winning the game handsomely. it was years ago and ive done better plays since, but somehow i always remember that game.. x---D
When I was Primary 5 my school sent me for a Scrabble competition. I remember losing one of the games until I played the word crimson with a blank tile which formed "crimsons". Not sure about the rules of professional scrabble but in that competition if you were challenged for the existence of a word and the word exists, you get double points. "Crimsons" alone gave me 35 points. My opponent challenged me and I got 70 points as a result and I eventually won. Felt great back then
I had no idea scrabble was a professional thing but now I’m invested
These people actually seem very interesting and smart. I could probably watch more on this topic.
I remember watching my dad play on an online version, and he couldn't see anything on the first go. I managed to spot 'quail', which got 50 points, and the opponent quit without making a play
Just when I think my recommendations couldn't get more obscure yet accurate to exactly what I want to watch instead of sleeping 😌
This is fascinating
I didn't even know they made Words With Friends into a board game...that's crazy!
Scrabble is popular amongst vampires.
Nice!
Surprisingly interesting

Not every single one of people above you commenting the correlation about intelligence -> scrabble. This is what jay-z was talking about, it's not other that puts you down, but yourself.
