I thought you were going to be listing those words that involve X or Q without a U.

I once blundered across a Scrabble championship on some cable channel. The tension was palpable. The players were down to letters like X, Q, and Z and they were STILL PLAYING. Also, the two guys didn't look like stereotypical word-geeks. They looked like redneck truckers.

It was a bit strange for me.

I have a large vocabulary, but seem to attract unusable letters when playing Scrabble, therefore I am not very good at it. We keep an emergency Scrabble Board in the office just in case we have a really long lull at work and want to interact rather than just stare at the computer screen. I have travel versions of Rummikub and Triominoes in the car for similar emergencies.
