The video How to play Scrabble [https://youtu.be/K1KgvZwwJqo] is an excellent and clear explanation of what we discussed in the first two lessons.
Some notes about this video:
When we discussed exchanging tiles, I didn't mention that this could be done only if there are at least 7 tiles remaining in the bag.
We already know that there are more ways to end the game than what is discussed in the video.
He doesn't mention that passing your turn is also an option.
Finally, to make explicit, a bonus square is only scored on the first play that covers it.
Scoring "tie" rule. I have never heard this rule before. Nor can I find it in the WESPA, NASPA, or Standard rules.
Note that a proper name like Billy which is capitalized is not acceptable, but billy (a small club) is.
Here is a written record of the game from the video. We can't see the racks, so we can't record the leaves.
