These are handy guides to memorizing some of the most helpful words in SCRABBLE®. Not intended to be used during games, but rather as a study aid.

Tournament Play
North American SCRABBLE® Players Association (NASPA) As of 2010-01-01, Hasbro will no longer be providing regular funding to SCRABBLE clubs and tournaments. As a result, the NSA will transfer responsiblity for clubs and tournaments to the newly formed NASPA. Beginning in July 2009, players who wish to play in competitive SCRABBLE® Tournaments must be a member of NASPA.
This site, courtesy of Keith Smith and Seth Lipkin, serves two indispensable purposes; it list all upcoming tournaments, and also tracks lifetime tournament statistics for all active SCRABBLE® players.
