Scrabble is ON as usual (13th April)

Pictures of last week!

Deep in thought

Your friend missed a bingo here! Can we spot it?

Guess who found two bingoes in a game?

Scrabble Rules about to change!

There has been news that scrabble will now accept proper nouns. This means you can put "HILDA", "NIKE" or even "SUHAIMI" for a bingo! ;P

However, scrabble enthusiasts around the world can breathe easy. This rule is NOT going to happen. It's just a limited edition of Scrabble, called Scrabble Trickster due out in UK soon. In yesterday's kerfuffle, a few bloggers pointed out this simple truth: Many proper nouns already are acceptable in Scrabble.

They're mainly words that also have common-noun meanings, such as BOB (a hairstyle, or a verb meaning to move up and down) or JOHN (just what you think it is) or JOE (as in coffee).

There are a few surprises, such as JAPAN (a lacquer) or HENRY (a measurement of electricity) or LAURA (a group of hermitages).

And in recent years, some corporate and brand names have slipped into the common usage and thus been included in the "Official Scrabble Players' Dictionary." Among them: FEDEX, JELLO and XEROX.

Yes, you can play XEROX in Scrabble, but only if you use a blank. There's just one X tile in a Scrabble set.

That's not changing, either.
