In these tough times, playing board games can be a fun and economical way of passing the time. Hasbro’s classic board game Scrabble is one of the most popular games due to its use of both creativity and vocabulary. But just knowing many difficult words does not a good Scrabble player make. There are some sure-fired ways to win at Scrabble, though.

Knowing all of the words that are two or three letters long helps create words towards the end of the game and also helps thwart attacks from opponents. It is very difficult to create words off of short words, as any Scrabble player knows, so maximizing smaller words, even obscure smaller words, will help players gain points while also making life more difficult for the opponent.
