Better Know a Letter - X

Follow Will on Twitch at / wanderer15 for more Scrabble content!
In this episode of Better Know a Letter, Will breaks down the X - one of the very few "power tiles" in the game of Scrabble. How can you use this letter to exasperate and extinguish your opponents?

[@TenementGentleman]

This video is fantastic! As someone who has long been aware of competitive Scrabble (thanks to the brilliant book Word Freak) it is nice to finally see quality work being produced about the game on "newer" mediums such as RUclips and Twitch. I can't wait to see more videos like this!

[@wanderer15]

Really appreciate the kind words!

[@DanielDugovic]

Thanks for explaining this beginner-friendly letter; indeed, even casual players can pick up and watch out for these few words.

[@wanderer15]

My pleasure!

[@thatliquidthing1903]

Yes, the only 3-letter X word I've heard is XIS, and I've never seen XED, and the only 4-letter X word is XYST, but in another dictionary, I've seen XRAY! Anyway, X-cellent X-pertise of X! Well done, Will.

[@wanderer15]

Yes, XRAY is in the Collins dictionary! I tend to focus on NWL words on the pop-up word lists, because those words apply to NWL and CSW players alike. Thanks for the exaltation :)

I love this series! Super helpful for beginners and experienced players alike!

[@wanderer15]

Thanks, always gives me a lift to see feedback like this

[@rheiagreenland4714]

Legends tell of a forbidden dictionary with 'XD' in its lexicon

[@jamburga321]

X also goes well with C as in excavate, except, exclusively, etc.

[@favouromeje9402]

Another great video here Will. Hopefully, you get to player the winner of our Scrabble Tournament 5.

[@theominousu6484]

Quixotic is an exception, which requires a good luck and strategy to ace.

Do G, and settle César and Josh S.'s disagreement.

[@wanderer15]

I’m scared of making an enemy for life. But there’s no avoiding it. We must better know all the letters.

[@thatliquidthing1903]

So, you're planning on doing every letter?

[@wanderer15]

@@thatliquidthing1903 Well, I'm planning on trying my best to keep this channel active. So as long as that's the case, more of these videos will trickle in!

[@zidane8452]
