The World Championship of Scrabble is heating up. Players are competing to be crowned the best scrabble player in the world. But the 2007 tourney has a different...taste.
The scrabble governing body, USGB, recently released information that had not been made available to the professionals or the general public. The info has revolutionized the 2007 tournament both negatively and positively.
Scrabble Inc. decided to make the blank tile edible for this years tournament.
"The fact is that the tile has always been edible, but this is the first year we went public with it," said John Dibbs, CEO Chair of Scrabble.
Players have reported the tile being so tasty that deciding to eat or use the tile is often difficult.
"It's hard to explain the taste. Like Doritos, ice cream, chicken salad, and steak all in one, but also more than that," said Sarah Commstom, last years scrabble runner-up.
While the blank tile is digestible, the letter tiles act as mints, but are not digestible.
"It really has made this years tournament a memorable one. You see a possible word, but then you ask yourself 'Does my breath stink or am I slightly hungry?'" explained Sky Frommerson, last years last-place finisher which made him this year's official tile polisher.
