You know, I've been playing Scrabble for most of my life, and I sincerely dislike the use of words such as this. There is no real word in English in which u does not follow q, and that's just a fact of life. These people who have begun using all these crazy words have, in my opinion, ruined Scrabble for the rest of us.
You need to just get yourself a basic English dictionary and play the game with that. There are plenty of words that you'll never figure out without having to resort to sheqel. This is also a great game to teach your kids the language. When they're little, play for fun. When they get to be 8-15, give them one and a half point for every letter that counts one. After 15, bet with them for a dime a point and make them pay you when they lose. |
