On: Scrabble star wins Spanish world title despite not...

Apparently his mother said, about teaching him Scrabble:

"When he learnt to talk he wasn't interested in words, just numbers. I said: I know a game you're not going to be very good at because you can't spell very well and you weren't good at English at school."

I guess the sorcery you are looking for is spite.

Scrabble really is a maths game. It just looks like a word game.

Right. It's not a word game, it's an area-control game with 150,000 rules for legal placement of your resources.

Codenames is a word game. Scrabble is about arbitrary sequences of glyphs.

Interestingly there are versions with more restricted tilesets and hence fever words to learn. Like one that only uses the letters of BOGGLE.

Both philosophical and poetic. True brilliance.
