Scrabble

This is a just completed game played with my cousin.

My 1st word was wearies - 64 points

My cousin’s 2nd word was feuding - 79 points

My cousin’s 3rd word was alkynes - 93 points

My 8th word was unshout - 66 points

In the end I won by only 2 points and I would have lost if I did not start the game first. The person who makes the 1st move scores double points.

Sometimes I do not even know a word exists until I check the Scrabble dictionary. The dictionary not only says that the word is valid but gives the meaning of the word most of the time.

For instance, according to the Scrabble dictionary, the word unshout means revoke (an earlier statement) by shouting a contrary one. I would not have known this word exists.
