Dowbrigade

Any
Scrabble aficionados will enjoy Brian
McGrory’s column in today’s Boston Globe. Note: the Dowbrigade
would be National Scrabble Champ if not for a congenital inability
to spell…

For kicks, he overturned seven random letters in front
of him — ”I S A T R N E" — and told me to add an eighth. I gave
him a ”G."

He casually proceeded to make ”ANGRIEST," ”RANGIEST," ”GANISTER," ”GANTRIES," ”INGRATES," and
”GRANITES."

I walked out that door realizing I never had a chance. Maybe somewhere
there’s a kindergarten Candy Land champion that I can take.
