You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means

Inigo Montoya, The Princess Bride

I’m a reasonably avid Scrabble player – always have been. France played host to many a family game through the years, and I remember being given ‘score and a half’ benefits to even the playing field between myself and my parents. Over the years, I can still see the debates as to how much I should be given until finally we had a match with no bonuses.

I credit Scrabble with a love of words, a particular fondness for anagrams and re-arranging words and such and even in life situations, challenging myself to look at things from a different point of view.

Don’t forget that this is the family who made their own Scrabble board (now with added nail varnish!) when they forgot it one holiday…
