<blink> I've only played Scrabble once, and that was in French! I didn't know such things existed. Thanks for the pointer. (I learned Monopoly and vaguely remember playing some pinkish board game with swirly lollipops on the board, and not much else. I did learn some Korean board games, though....) We have a rhyming dictionary in Korea and *that* is a treasure of words I'd never seen, but they don't give definitions so you have to go look 'em up. YHL
