[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are insufferable OP. You make a lot of negative assumptions about your wife if you are for real. You seem smug and superior. Hoe do you know that you are beating her? Maybe she is letting you win since she knows you have a fragile ego![/quote]

Because she rage quits a simple game like Scrabble after losing by huge points every single game and gets angry at the words I play and their placement because she can never score high while nearly every move I make is for at least double digit points.

I can't help that after many games of Scrabble she cannot learn simple strategy, defense, and rack management. Like, it really doesn't take genius level intellect to learn that you should try as hard as possible to never level a vowel next to a bonus spot, because when you do, it means a consonant (high point tiles) can often be used next to them in two directions for huge points.  Other simple stuff like trying your hardest to maintain a balance of 4 consonants and 3 vowels in your rack she doesn't even pay attention to. I know she never even thinks about rack management because she constantly wastes turns trading in tiles.  After many games of Scrabble, I don't think she realizes yet how a letter like C is also a fantatic defensive tile, because when you have no options but to lay down next to a bonus spot on the board, a C can be placed next to it so that the bonus spot can only be used in one direction since there are really no two letter words that can be played that end in C, thereby limiting your opponent's points

Little stuff like above is so, soooo basic.  [b]I use those strategies every game to win by a lot, but she hasn't caught on yet.[/b]  If you leave a I open next to a triple word or letter score spot, don't rage quit when I play a word like QI in two directions for 60+ points. [/quote]

You ... you could share these strategies, you know. With the person you love? Make the gameplay better for both of you?[/quote]

Why?

People have to figure out these things for themselves. That's the only way to get better rather than providing them a mental crutch every time. [/quote]

Right because you figured it all out by yourself. No textbooks or teachers or peers or reddit blogs.....[/quote]
