What do you like about Scrabble: Scrabble is the most wonderful game in the world in my opinion.
It brings people together from all walks of life, of all ages, and all races.
It is tantalizing for the brain cells, and for those of us who enjoy tournament competition, it opens doors to new friends, new places to travel, and a wealth of knowledge wordwise.
Scrabble is also therapeutic.
My motto is "Have Scrabble, will travel".
What else would you like people to know: I am an ardent advocate for Scrabble education of our youth.
I do Scrabble classes and small competition with children from 1st grade level through high school.
Millicent is featured in the newest version of "Everything Scrabble" on pages 302-303.

What do you like about Scrabble: Where to begin... No two games are the same, no two players are the same,
you learn something new every game, you can always get better, you can beat anyone in any given game
(and you can lose to anyone in any given game), the mix of defense, offense, bluffing, guessing and rack management.
I also love the friends I have met playing this game.
What else would you like people to know: I like to play at ISC, login name WWCOOP.
I am grateful to all the Winson-Salem Club members who helped me learn this great game.
