Canavan’s 2024 Scrabble Scramble



I’m participating in the 2024 Scrabble Scramble challenge, but, since I’m playing against myself, I have opted to depart in a number of key aspects from Doc’s suggested procedures (see here for Doc’s guidelines). In a nutshell, I’m using a virtual Scrabble board and abiding (well, sorta) by all of Scrabble’s official rules.

My rules are:

1. Every graphic novel read generates a tile as specified by Doc’s rules.
2. Even though I may at any point have an arbitrarily large “pool” of tiles available (e.g., 15 tiles corresponding to the first 15 graphic novels that I read), in attempting to play a word I need to restrict myself to a rack containing 7 tiles. (Thus, in the forgoing example, in order to play a word, I would have to first transfer 7 of the 15 tiles in my pool to my rack for immediate use, leaving 8 in the pool for future use/transfer.) Once a tile has been transferred to the rack, it cannot be re-transferred back to the pool.
3. Words played need to build off of already-existing words on the board according to the rules of Scrabble.
4. Points are awarded for word play (tile placement) as per the rules of Scrabble.
5. I can substitute a blank tile for any letter tile that’s in my pool. But once a letter has been transferred from the pool to the rack, it cannot then be changed into a blank. I can only produce 2 blanks over the course of this game/challenge (because, of the 100 Scrabble tiles, only 2 are blanks).
6. Graphic novels continue to generate tiles until 100 tiles are produced.
7. Game play continues until all 100 tiles are played or until play is no longer posible with the remaining tiles.
