so I drew my letters and of course I immediately see xocshaltonquirj

...but then I see the N! And immediately I think of capeskin. Ya me too joe

oooooh so this is what english majors do

“Capeskin’s not a word you see everyday....” Capeskin is a word I have seen none of the days.

W⁴T¹F⁴ am i doing here

Sum up of this video Everyone has lost to David Gibson

how do they remember their letters by heart

Me playing scrabble: using words like CAT or DOG Them playing scrabble: This is the perfect chance to use the word CAPESKIN Amazing! There’s a reason they’re pros 🤩

Who else expected the second guy's "worst" story to be "I played 'op'"

I think 'training' for scrabble just consists of reading online lists of improbable but legal words for hours on end. You don't need to know what they mean, just that they exist.

“I saw n and I immediately thought capeskin.” Wtf. I see n and I think Naruto lol.

I once played quinoas for 103 points.

Losing because you didn't turn "pathetic" into "apathetic." How poetic.

So I got the letters U N A J W V E, I saw it...a golden opportunity for a game turning play...so I made my move Nuajev. My friend told me it wasn't a word so I threw a chair at him, knocking him out then I stepped on his stupid unconscious body and declared myself victorious.

Talks about Scrabble isn’t about luck - proceeds to talk about how the first guy won by luck.

I should be asleep but instead I’m watching professional scrabble players recalling their best move. What am I doing with my life

Oh yeah when I see a certain combination of letters, I automatically think *capeskin*

i stopped going to professional scrabble matches because crowd trouble was getting too much. I once heard a guys shout out you 16pt ignoramus. it was brutal man, brutal

_“I saw N and I immediately thought of-”_ *black dude at the next table looks over* _“C A P E S K I N”_

What do you mean "buttboner" isn't a word!?

these guys are making this game so much more interesting

I love discovering entire, thriving communities like this that I never knew existed. It's really interesting how many self-contained, large groups of people there are out that that I just never think about.

"And I don't see a bingo right away..." *awkward silence* "BUT THEN I LOOKED AT THE N AND IMMEDIATELY SAW CAPESKIN"

"Greatest move" = "My worst mistake" ?

This was a fascinating look into a world I had never considered even existing.

never even knew this was a thing.

Scrabble Players: Capeskin! Gladiolas! Me: Trash...

"We left you in charge of the camera for two seconds GARY!" 4:06

I was once arrested when I was 15 for TPing a house with my friends and when my dad came to pick me up I tried to say sorry but he said "don't say a word son we are going straight home and you are grounded" so I said "zincate" which was fine by him because he thought it was not a word but little does he know, it is a word.

Did not know barfi was a word. Probably why I'm not great at scrabble.

I love Scrabble because it reminds me of good times with my grandma, "Nunu". Don't worry, Nunu is still alive and well at almost 90 years old! I just don't get to see her very often :) I remember one time we both Bingoed as the first two plays! I played "turtles" and then she played "coasters" off my "s". Nunu would be an awesome professional Scrabble player. I think she even got the Triple Word Score. Rookie mistake on my part. I love videos like this. They are so wholesome. Thanks for sharing!

Play of the game JOE EDLEY as capeskin

My best play of all time was "Quincunx" on a triple word score, which was insanely lucky because 1) I'd happened to look the word up a week earlier, and 2) I actually got the letters to play it.

I dont even care about scrabble why did i watch this ?

all the words they played are soooo high level.. when i play i always use simple one... ball, skin, hi, zoo, hehe you, cap, pen, and so on

Me: .. Opponent: *sweats profusely* Me: *plays “PEPEHARD”*

"Stop Banksy" would be the logical next play. - Scotland Yard

Such a good video, but the title is broken, most of these were regretful, not "greatest"

3:33 I had the same thing happened to me. I since then never forgot about this lesson lol. These short stories made me learn so much more!

2 years ago I remember watching this vid and loved it but never played scrabble, and this year my friend showed me how to play scrabble and I immediately fell in love with it and I look up to these guys

How the qoph did I end up at a scrabble video?

why was this in my recommended list? and why am I watching this till the end?

Half expected the second dude to be like, “So, I played OP to start a game...”

Chess Player:I compete in tournaments testing my skill at a game of war. Scrabble Player:Hold my beer "Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis"

I used to be a professional scrabble player, but my family used to constantly call me a cheater for playing "invalid words". Turns out they didn't like me playing anagrams that would only be seen in a dictionary.

Always fun to hear people speaking about the things they're passionatw about :)

Never had such a smile when clicking on a UKposts video this year. Well played, sub earned big fella

It's amazing that they play open boards. I thought in most cases they'd consider blocking during mid game. Blocking is a good option but isn't always a disadvantage to the opponent only but to yourself as well.

6:25 *Play of The Game* Joey Edley As *Scrabble Player*

Boom, Tetris for Jeff! Oh, wrong game, nevermind...

Lovely journals. Thanks for this.

I appreciate you guys! I'm an online player, played about 800 games but only won 56% so I'm not that great but I appreciate the tactics. I still find myself needing to check even short words all the time though, it must be nerve racking having to hold it all in your head

I should be studying

I WATCHED IT UKposts ARE YOU HAPPY NOW, I DONT EVEN CARE ABOUT SCABBLE

Thank You! Very useful!❣️🥰😍

5 years later and Will Anderson is now a UKpostsr with a healthy subscriber count. Super proud!

These people look exactly what i would expect a professional scrabble player to look like.

I used to play scrabble daily with my grandmother before she passed. Recently I've taken it up again and been playing more and more. I had no idea there was a professional scrabble scene. Very cool to learn about it.

These recommendations during quarantine are unbelievable

I thought the second guy was going to say "I played Will Anderson and opened with OP"

I loved this - great job, everyone :)

David Gibson was catching bodies

I played a game online where my opponent had about a 100 point lead on a closed board at the end of the game. Managed to open up a triple and I played all my tiles for something like 110, plus all the points for the letters they had left, won by a couple. What's particularly interesting is probably any other move they make wins the game, as it's the only instance I can think of of someone making the worst move possible.

My favorite play: Rack was GIINNOY. An M was sitting at O-11 allowing me to score 176 with IGNOMINY. But not long ago I was quite pleased with myself to play IMBICILE. Only problem was my opponent, and practically everyone else, knows the word is IMBECILE. Humbled by the mistake and amused by the irony.

How to be a scrabble pro: Become a vampire

6:26 *Overwatch theme plays*

I honestly loved this

playing english scrabble looks sooooooooo much easier. i saw two ys on a board and had a heart attack lol

*Scrabble players don't get much sun.*

I love when you upload great content like this. Keep the good work.

7:10 Imagine not having “ir” as a valid word This post was made by Spanish language gang

why are they all so pale??...oh

This is a great video for a learner who wants to be great in scrabble

You had me at Professional scrabble players

I kinda want to get into things like scrabble and chess, it just seems so fulfilling (like most things you put time into for yourself) actually seeing the progression in your gameplay.

Gotta love the chronos clocks! Got one myself for chess

I never played scrabble and have no interest on it, I just like hearing masters at their craft/sport/game/hobby talk about what they do.

This is the most pale collection of people I've ever seen.

Just when I think my recommendations couldn't get more obscure yet accurate to exactly what I want to watch instead of sleeping 😌

Great plays

these guys look like they haven't seen the sun in decades

I was half-expecting the worst scrabble play to be the guy who played 'op'.

She’s so right its all about the journey not the end! Best life lesson there! :)

Nigel is a friend of my dad's. We played a card game at my house and he literally memorised every card everyone played ...

There should be a movie about this! Bring Scrabble into the spotlight.

In my recommended? Yes. Watched it, and loved it? Yell Heah.

Video I didn’t know I needed

This is fascinating

4:07 who else got really uncomfortable when they zoomed into her doing that with her fingers?

i remember playing SOPHOCLES for a bingo with my last letters winning the game handsomely. it was years ago and ive done better plays since, but somehow i always remember that game.. x---D

Just brought my pupils representing the school in state championship for the first time...well we only managed to go to round 2..huhuh but i tot good job my pupils!

Me and mt boyfriend have started playing Scrabble together. He's more used to mathematical games and I'm better at words and wordplay and its kinda cool how like ur viewpoint changes. Whenever I played more math based games w/ him I couldn't understand how he does it but when I play Scrabble or other word games w/ him he feels the same way lol

I saw a, and immediately thought of floccinaucinihilipilification

Wow I didn't know competitive Scrabble was a thing. This is impressive.

When I was Primary 5 my school sent me for a Scrabble competition. I remember losing one of the games until I played the word crimson with a blank tile which formed "crimsons". Not sure about the rules of professional scrabble but in that competition if you were challenged for the existence of a word and the word exists, you get double points. "Crimsons" alone gave me 35 points. My opponent challenged me and I got 70 points as a result and I eventually won. Felt great back then

Surprisingly interesting

I’ve reached peak whiteness by watching this video

I have always wished, since my childhood, that competitive Scrabble was present in my country. I wish it isn't too late.

Watching this somewhat makes me feel that frustration😂

Nice!
