I have spent much of the past twelve months overseeing the creation of a massive new resource for Scrabble players, both new and old. Launched on 1st January 2013, this is how it was announced:

I am delighted to announce the release of a major new Scrabble
resource, the product of over one year of hard work by 12 of the
greatest Scrabble players in the world.

The Scrabble Player's Handbook is now available to download for FREE
at www.scrabbleplayershandbook.com

Written by a dozen former World Scrabble Championship competitors in a
style that is accessible and understandable for players of all levels,
The Scrabble Player's Handbook is the definitive 162-page guide to how
to play competitive Scrabble. Download it, read it, email it to people
you know, print it, photocopy it, SHARE IT.

This is how we play Scrabble.

Cool, I'll have a look.

It'd be nice on the website if you said what size the file is. It just sort of started downloading and I had no idea how long it would take. Not even Chrome knew

Agreed! (6.6 megs for the record)

This is really good. Thanks Stewart.

Can anyone settle an argument. How much is a blank worth on countback if your opponent is daft enough to leave one till the end?

Nothing.

Oh dear. I must have been thinking of gin rummy where getting caught with a joker at the end costs you 20 points.

I love this forum. Ask a scrabble question and a scrabble champion answers you. Very cool.

The book is quoted on the facebook scrabble page there, just to let you know. They've changed facebook scrabble into a rubbish EA version, which is rather annoying.
