My interests span the geek spectrum unabashedly.
Some of my favorites categories (with a few examples) include:
- programming (Java/Groovy/Javascript)
- board games(Dominion, Co-op games like Pandemic)/table-top rpgs(Pathfinder),
- music -> vocal(I sing myself-baritone) and instrumental music(Grieg)
- literature(Scarlet Letter, Brave New Word, 1984).

Dictionary for Scrabble that doesn't contain ridiculous words If you are going to exclude I think the key is excluding non-subjectively. You can trim the list down by cutting words by definition--letter words(ar, ef, el, es, ex), sound interjections(hm, mm, oi, oy, sh), greek letters (mu, nu, xi), etc. Anything less is subjective and is the same as saying you can only use words that all players know. Words like aa, ai and id have very definite meanings and are not archaic. Excluding all 2-letter words or based on point values, just feels like changing the game altogether. At that point, just take the tiles and make your own game--you might have more fun. |

Dictionary for Scrabble that doesn't contain ridiculous words I think everyone learning (or having a copy of) the two-letter word list is a far cry from "Scrabble-for-blood". It is something more akin to a knowledge equalizer (a handicap). Although the term "Scrabble-for-blood" gives me a lot of good ideas for some fun game variants. I also think as soon as you start talking "normal" you have entered into @Johno's answer (which is quite valid) because you have entered the subjective zone. There are non-subjective ways to trim down that two-letter list. |
