If you really want to baffle Aunt Edna next time she visits, then these tips are for you. As a kid, I was never very good at Scrabble, mostly because I played with adults and my word range simply wasn’t as large… so it was highly unfair.
Here’s a way to tip the scales if you feel like you’re in the same boat as I was. The words below can score you big points, both on the board (if you use the triple boxes) and also in the eyes of your family!

Win a Bet in Scrabble Are there any words in the English language that use a, e, i, o, u, and y (as a vowel) all in their correct order? Actually there are two:
- facetiously (not meant to be taken seriously, humorous)
- abstemiously (to eat and drink sparingly)
If you like both Scrabble and doing math, then you’ll want to take a look at Equate, which is the mathematical version of Scrabble. I’ve played this type of math game a lot over the years with my kids, and it’s always fun to watch their development grow.
