Countless games have led to this… the first Scrabblepost of the year! (And first in almost a whole year oops I’ve really been slacking)
Anyway, in the past year I moved so I live on my own now, meaning I don’t get to play real life in person Scrabble as much I’d like to. That said I’m back on my online Scrabble grind recently and I’m def shaking off the rust but I’ve had some pretty good games recently. Here’s the first time in forever that I broke 450 (and only barely haha), now in GIF form! I’m purple:

I’m done with the Scrabble Go app, it was annoying and had ads and I felt like the competition was sort of all over the place. Definitely enjoying woogles.io much more: no ads, no waiting for real people, and you can play bots that are probably around your skill level. They even have a post-game analyzer that shows you the optimal moves you could’ve made, and you can export your games to GIF form as seen above. Shoutout
Amaranth for showing me this site!
I play almost all of my games with BasicBot, the second-easiest bot that scores an average of 330 points a game. Overall I definitely have a winning record on BasicBot but I still get beat a good amount of the time. My goal for 2025 is to graduate onto BetterBot, which scores an average of 370 per game and is the mid-level bot that you can play against. I feel like right now I could beat BetterBot once in a blue moon, but certainly not with any kind of consistency. Need to up my word knowledge for sure and get better about seeing all my options on the board (especially with overlaps).
I bought the official Scrabble player’s dictionary for my in-person games and though it sounds kind of lame, studying the dictionary would definitely help. I just have too many video games in my backlog at the moment for that lol.
Anyway hope you enjoyed the Scrabblepost (especially you,
Sijih). Here’s to many more games and not waiting almost a year before the next one!
