Scrabble secrets (Second edition)

Inside the covers of this little book lie the secrets of Britain's first Scrabble World Champion and World Scrabble Championship 2016 runner-up Mark Nyman. Updated based on the revised wordlist officially adopted by WESPA from 1st September 2015. 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 (TM) 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!
