If you’ve ever played a game of Scrabble, you probably fall into one of two categories of players: those that can always figure out a way to play a seven-letter word on a Triple Word Score (and typically win a game by more than 200 points), or you struggle determining where to place an “E” for a 2 point score.
If you fall into the latter group: don’t panic – you’re not alone. Not everybody can memorize word lists and play any Scrabble word at will.

Web Watch, as we’ve declared previously, loves playing board games with friends.
There’s something about sitting around a table and taking part in a group activity – laughing, drinking – that you just can’t get from the anonymous (and cheat-filled) ways of playing knock-off word games with friends via cellphone.
Is SCRABBLE the best game choice for game night? Sometimes yes, sometimes not. It partly depends on how many people are playing, and whether they enjoy playing word games with you. If you’re the kind of person who TiVos the NATIONAL SPELLING BEE, then chances are you’re not the type of person that others will want to engage in a casual Scrabble game with.

Web Watch has told you about earworms before, those pesky little pieces of songs that get stuck in your head so you can’t get them out.
Earworms, for the music industry, are good – they prove that there really is such a thing as a song that you’ll never forget.

Were you one of the lucky ones who decided to buy Facebook stock on opening day?
Lucky, only if you also sold it immediately. If you decided to take a long approach of buy-and-hold, you’re probably cursing the banks and others that drove the IPO price as high as it did.
So it ends up that right now, Facebook doesn’t have a lot of fans. For financial reasons, due to the rapidly declining stock price. For personal reasons, by posting a legally-meaningless “you don’t have rights to access my profile” status update.
Look – it’s quite easy. If you hate everything about Facebook — just stop using it. Life marched on for years without Facebook, and life will continue to exist for you once you stop using it.
People who will only be your friend online and not IRL (that’s “in real life”) were not really your friends. People who beg you to play Words with Friends with them but turn their noses up at playing a real-world game of Scrabble are not those you’d want to play against anyway.

Are a WORDS WITH FRIENDS junkie?
Do you have multiple games going at one time, and fantasize about playing the exact same word on all the boards at the same time?
Do you have all the LEGAL 2-LETTER WORDS memorized, regardless of whether you actually know the definitions of those words or not? Do you know the exact number of letters that are available in the baggie, or know the difference between REGULAR SCRABBLE RULES and TOURNAMENT SCRABBLE RULES?
Yeah, you’re a word game competitor, and you’re always looking for an edge. Something to really carry your gameplay to the next level, because you’re sick and tired of losing out on that Triple Word Score because you couldn’t come up with a more creative way to use that “P” in your rack.

All you need to do is learn some new 2- and 3-letter words.
In what appears to be a bad case of timing from their reporters, The Wall Street Journal finally reported this week of a dramatic change in the world of Scrabble that took place in October 2005:
THE ADDITION OF NEW WORDS TO THE SCRABBLE DICTIONARY.
Words such as “ZA”, “QI”, and “ZZZ” were added recently, according to the WSJ. Apparently, “recently” means “in the past 4-5 years” to them.
Regardless, here at Web Watch we believe in making sure that you are not sucked into the same vortex of bad Scrabble-playing that the WSJ would lead you down if you had to wait a few years to discover that there had been a Scrabble dictionary update. So here are the list of handy two- and three- letter words that you should have at the ready the next time you need to impress your Scrabble-playing friends…along with the unexpected WSJ followup:
