Book Description

6 Oct 2011 Little Book

Inside the covers of this little book lie the secrets of Britain’s only ever Scrabble World Champion.

Scrabble is played by millions but mastered by very few and unless you’re a Scrabble player who likes to lose, this book is a must. In it Mark Nyman spells out the most useful two letter words, what to do when you have a case of irritable vowel syndrome, strategies for how to get off to a flying start and lists our language’s strangest and most unbelievably useful words. Between these golden tips come anecdotes and words of wisdom from a lifetime at the top.

Beautifully produced, Collins Little Book of Scrabble™ Secrets is a treasure in itself and makes a perfect gift. Be careful who you give it to though; you might find yourself scrabbling around in their dust when next you play!

4.0 out of 5 stars Top Marks for Mark! 9 Jan 2012
Format:Paperback
I've played scrabble for forty years and still have very much to learn. Mark's little book is a mine of information and help. I love the way in which it is presented, amusing and instructive at the same time. Highly recommended to anyone who has a love of the game and also to those just dabbling their feet

Put this in as a Christmas stocking filler for my Mum who is a Scrabble addict. Unbeknown to me my daughter bought one for me and I have found it really helpful as well as being an interesting read. Now we have two Scrabble addicts in the family!

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential for every Scrabble player. 6 Jan 2013
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
It's full of interesting stuff but the real value is at the end with definitive lists of two and three letter words. Better quality than most Scrabble reference books and recommended without reservation.

4.0 out of 5 stars Collins Little Book of Scrabble Secrets 1 Mar 2012
By pat
Format:Paperback
For anyone who plays Scrabble this is a must have book. It is small and easy to carry around but contains all those 2 and 3 letter words you wish you could remember when playing but can't! The author is clearly qualified for writing this after so many years associated with Countdown on TV.

4.0 out of 5 stars Useful hints
A very useful starter aide memoire. The only issue is that the rules - ie. the acceptability of many words - does not apply to the on line scrabble game. This is frustrating.
