Summary of Scrabble Blogs

I’ve really enjoyed blogging about Scrabble, here is what I’ve covered so far.

To start with here are the basic rules which I published on 1^st December 2017 

Then here are some alternative rules and variations published on 18^th December 2017 which will help new comers and families especially with playing quicker games.

Here’s some information on why Scrabble is great for literacy skills (30^th November 2017). if you are a teacher or a staff member in a library, Scrabble is a great game to aid literacy skills. 

On the previous blog there is a list of clubs in Ireland, if there is not a club near you check here for details on starting a club. You can also email me for information on starting a club on j.j.ryan2014@gmail.com. (7th December 2017)

And finally, a dog is for life and so is Scrabble so here is an awesome list of words allowed in Scrabble that are breeds of dog that I of course published before Christmas on 4^th December 2017 

In the New Year, I started thinking about new comers to the game so published a blog on allowed 2 letter words on 4^th January 2018 

Then I explained hooks and gave a nice list of hooks to print out on 10^th January 2018, hint - it's nothing to do with fishing.

And then in the final trilogy of blogs for new players I spoke about rack balance here on 22^nd January 2018.

Lastly on 31^st January 2018 I blogged about never giving up when things look back and demonstrated a recent game at a tournament.

All the word lists I’ve made up are free to print and share, please credit me and/or quote a link to my blog www.johnthecaptainryan.blogspot.ie

Enjoy.
