As for Scrabble champ? That challenge is still on the table. Several days, much research and one Scrabble iPad app later, I came to understand the competitive appeal of continual adaptation and mental mathematics. This is rarely good news for a journalism major. Unfortunately, my plan took a dark turn as I discovered multiple sources insisting that Scrabble is a game of mathematical prowess and statistical probabilities as much as it is a game about vast vocabularies. After all, there's really no better context to introduce oneself as a former spelling bee champion than when discussing a game built on the mastery of words. I'd imagined that becoming the reigning interoffice Scrabble champ would bestow certain niceties. Scrabble has a permanent home in my game cabinet, so I invited a colleague over for a some friendly competition - and quickly learned two potentially painful lessons: 1) I am not a master Scrabble player, and 2) this game really does require strategy.

And this is in addition to actually playing the game.

One strategy that stands out among many Scrabble experts is the homework they complete on a regular basis. And even if you can't attend the same Scrabble club or watch these players in tournament action, you can still follow along by reading their blogs and books. This fantasy roster will be your go-to source for information, tools and strategies to improve your game. That's why you'll want to develop a Scrabble dream team.
