Today I was thinking about Scrabble and a comment left after my previous post find a word for scrabble saying that Scrabble is kind of boring game. I was wondering if this game was getting old and needed some fresh new ideas to extend the life of the game (even though I think this board game will never die). So just for the fun of it, I started listing a few new game element they could add to the board game.

The first thing I came up with is kind of a scrabble cheat, that would let you reuse a word a bit like we do with hooks but instead of adding letters a the end or at the beginning of the word, you would add a scrabble letter on top of another one to form a new scrabble word.

The scrabble word cheat

Ok the name is not that hot, but images will show my idea better. So let's say we have the word "MUG". You could transform this scrabble word into "BUG". This


(This word worth 6 points)


(This new word would also worth 6 points)

This example above is only the most basic case of using the scrabble word cheat. You could do something better like the following scrabble word example where we replace two letter of the same word. Replacing scrabble letter "M" by a "B" and letter "G" by a "Y".


(This new word would worth 8 points)

But even better, you would replace a letter to form a new word, but you would put a completly new word on the scrabble board at the same time.





(The total point scored here would be 10 points)

Stay tuned for more ideas, I have more on my list but time is missing a little.
