Great practice for making the highest scoring play possible

Great for learning how to find the highest scoring play possible with any given rack of letters and words already on the board. It will definitely improve your scrabble game. I found it a little difficult to figure out the answers by just looking at the letters and trying to figure out a word in my head and where to play it. Much easier if you take the time and set up the puzzles on a real scrabble board. That way it simulates playing a real game and allows you to shuffle your letters around which makes it easier to come up with the best word.
