I'm 45 years old. I have been playing scrabble for some while, having been taught by my grandmother when I was about 5. Today, for the first time, I got to use a variant of my favorite word in a game of scrabble. I played 'obviated' as my first move (second of the game) for about 60 some-odd points. I played two bingos in this 6-6 minute game, but won on time.
