Lol just a suggestion but if you’re interested you might want to check out David Webb and Kenji Matsumoto’s scrabble videos if you haven’t already, they’re top players and make great content, if not its fine too
Aw lad tell me about it, just finished a game there myself 😂
Bro try me. 8 months further into covid over here and I watched 6 hours of a tetris world championship before this. End this covid crisis. Pleaseeeeee

Thanks!!
Well done. TY!
Hero we need
Thank you Carlotta!
Now this is a good fall asleep to type of video, works everytime
@kris john laparan lmao
Ay. A little respect, please. This isn't some sort of joke. This is SCRABBLE. People have died for this game.
Oh, wait. That's Poker. Sorry.
You r right😱
It's 11:41pm and I can't sleep cause I want to learn new words for Scrabble Go lol
1:13 BOOZE EH. Sounds like a Canadian saying it.
We were playing scrabble last night and our most exotic word was BEIGE 😂
I love this commentary. Calming and funny, way to go.
I thought you were joking until I realized that my headphone were unplugged and I had been watching the 2019 Scrabble Championship Finals 1 of 3 muted for 37 minutes.🤦♂️
imagine your opponent playing an eight letter word and you just play the word "dog"
"I want to give people a good show" lol You're great!
eris smith fr g moment
Thanks for the uploads!
I think it'd be so cool if the speakers would define the words that the players set down. That'd definitely be awesome and more enjoyable to watch!
I totally agree
I wished they'd explain the strategy more. I love Scrabble and I'm interested in improving my game, but they're talking about stuff that's obvious to a top-level player but just baffles me.
@@amarsha4 Yeah it seems kind of advanced and hard to understand. They said some jargon so I don't know the terms. I wish they explained to more
32:35 Alec sees Carl's timer running out and trying to go fast to give Carl less time to think. Interesting play
That’s a strategy I used a lot. Don’t waste time with the obvious play; put the pressure on the opponent- it works well
You'd think for such an event they could centre and zoom the players tiles just a bit more...
I really Love Scrabble Please Make More!
I Like this Kind of videos
Well, these are all recorded from live events that occur outside the context of content, so no worries - there's gonna be plenty more.
Who else was screaming at their screen when they saw Alec’s perfect opportunity to play “Talent”?
i was screaming my lungs out in my head
Thanks for the tips.
one time i played "throb" for a triple word score... i was so proud of myself
Love this top notch entertainment
Tattyscorpion50 lmao
Interesting 👍 thanks
They should make a category:
"only words that at least 50% of people understand"
This must be the most boring thing I’ve seen my grandma will love this thou
why couldnt they just attach the camera to the board spinner so it is always aligned
Awesome
The beer story by the commentators is more exciting than the game!
That first "multiple underlap" she mentions, "very pretty", I don't see it.
Aha! ALKIE

I have a game tomorrow and i don't know if i lose or win

sjoholm should be a valid scrabble word.
Scramble?! Sabrina Know I'm Coolin
24:02 ANTIFA lol
Commentators. Common taters. Common potatoes. There I solved the pun.
could have played bounty???
You're telling me there's no professional way to pull more letters other than the old kindergarten trick "jazz hands and hold bag above head" .......
When tws is open. Iwas thinking for twink hays
Good evening.... How to join scrabble games
The commentators are so pompous. Imagine showing these with experts who didn’t try to nerdily outsmart each other and rather instead educated the viewer on how the game works.
I know I've seen jefe a few times in scrabble and that it's in the dictionary.
But why? Isn't it a Spanish word meaning boss?
yes but it’s been used as an english word enough that dictionaries list it. just like burrito, nada, poncho, etc.
There's new words getting added to the dictionary every year!
@@trainerred6582 kind of funny, just yesterday I saw irregardless was accepted into the merriam webster dictionary, and I repeat my question: why?!
Before, it wasn't a word and was considered wrong!
Yes, that's true, but it's used enough that it's a loan word and thus considered an English word. Dinero, vaquero, croissant... Over here in English land we like sharing. Also, "irregardless" was accepted based on the fact that SO FREAKING MANY people used the word incorrectly that it became commonplace. However, it is listed as nonstandard, which essentially means "this is stupid and clunky and there's no reason to use it."
8:00 TALENT

Half of these words I don't even understand the meaning of. Are they allowed to use a dictionary?
An opponent can challenge the word you use and the referees check if it's in the dictionary. I think when this happens, the clock of the person who challenged the opponent keeps ticking. If the word doesn't exist, the opponent is penalized with less time or points. Remember, you can lose if you run out of time just like in chess
In official tournament play, and even according to the official rules for home play, a dictionary is only allowed to be used as a reference when someone's play has been challenged. High-level Scrabble players spend long and hard hours familiarizing themselves with tons and tons of words. Most of them know every single two- and three-letter word in the English language. It's nuts.
For the people who didn't come here because of covid-19.
558 could have played bounty
Gridlers?
Bridlers
who has the atvantage the person to go 1st or 2nd
First obviously, they get double word points
1st, but it’s close. It’s something like 54% chance of winning if you go first, all other things being equal.
While going first has its advantages, such as the double word score, the person going second is more likely to bingo because they can make both 7-letter words and 8-letter words.
But the person going second can place thier words on the other extra point places ?
I usually get better points going second.
Slight advantage for first player. The placement of the double letter score along with the required double word score can make for some strong starts, plus you get first crack at trying to open or close parts of the board. Second player has more bingo potential, as their bingo doesn't have to just be a seven-letter word sitting on their rack; they can play an eight-letter bingo. However, they have to play on the terms first player sets, bingo or no. You feel me?
9:01
I have wayyyy too much time on my hands.. #help #covid 😂😒
Scrabble, home. At least it was until I fucked everything up
The woman's voice is too loud and the guy's voice is too quiet. I think that needs to get fixed but otherwise entertaining video
The guy knows jackshit she‘s the expert just listen
All he had to do, is spell the damn words....
Lol @ 22:05 when he draws ANTIFA
That Carl Johnson guy had terrible time management. He needs to stop using up most of his clock in the first few moves.
the male commentator sounds cute..😀
I wouldn't mind giving Robin a game of scrabble :)
These people have just memorized a bunch of strings of letters that happen to be "legal" in scrabble without knowing what many of them even mean. In the first few minutes of this, the announcers are literally debating whether the word "mortgagee" is a real word. They don't know what it means, but they know how to spell it!
Mortgagee is pretty easy to intuit though
It’s a game of words, not definitions. Who cares if they know what it means? They know how to use their tiles, that’s the point, that’s the goal.
These commentators should be players because they act like they are flawless
Cheater=teacher
y'all are gonna have to stop talking about people's racks
Hello👋 Madison how are you doing today hope you're safe over there?
I love when the commentators are COMPLETELY WRONG, and get embarrassed, as annoying nerds do. What nightmares they are.
youre watching the scrabble championship lil bro theyre all annoying nerds
Strasznie nudna gra, nawet perfekcyjne opanowanie słownika nie pomoże aby wygrywać
I agree with you. I have commented before that these commentators are not as professional as in other tournaments, such as Mattel World Championships - watch and compare. The giggling and personal comments are, to say the least, annoying, and unnecessary. Their time would be more beneficial if spent explaining and anticipating plays and words to watchers. NASPA, please change them???
lol what's annoying and unnecessary is the comma you put after "annoying"
Hello👋 Pauline how are you doing today hope you're safe over there?
You play scrabble when you suck at chess
This female narrator is like chalk to a board. Grating.
i turn off the sound, that liberal guy announcing gets under my skin
