<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.
