Digital Scrabble® - my newest Escape

I broke down. Downloaded my first iPad PAID app, Scrabble. What a well spent $1.99. Truly a great, simple Escape. I've loved Scrabble forever. I can still recall epic seven-letter words. Sometimes while reading I'll see a word and think, "that would be a great Scrabble double word score." My Mom instilled my love of Scrabble. She did it by beating me regularly. She still has many of the score sheets to prove it. But playing the computer is a whole new ballgame (word game). I "rack" my brain over the tiles and place down a word. Actually drag and drop a word. The beautiful, shiny interface glows as it tallies my score. Before I've even digested my new letters the computer casually tosses out a word. Often one I've never seen before. Think avidin. Talk about memorizing the dictionary. The computer doesn't gloat. Also you never hear, "my letters are crappy," or, "there's nowhere to go on this board." The machine is a quiet assassin. But he (she) is rapidly improving my game. And when I next match up with my know-it-all youngest daughter on our Deluxe (missing one "I" tile) home set, look out. I won't need no stinking U with my Q. I'm going to whip you. No strike that. I'll employ my blank to demolish, eliminate, eradicate, and annihilate you.
