While articles can improve your Scrabble strategy, nothing beats having a step-by-step tutorial dedicated to helping you improve at Scrabble. When it comes to diving into the technical aspects of Scrabble strategy, nothing beats a good Scrabble book.
I’ve spent a huge amount of time and effort developing some Scrabble books to improve your game. Now, you might be asking yourself: “Okay, but which book is for me?” Well, I’m glad you asked! Here’s a quick rundown of the books that I’ve been edited and written:
The Scrabble Players Handbook
This is a free compilation with chapters from many of the world’s top players, including myself. It contains articles about basic strategy, resources, programs, how to find other Scrabble players, and advice on how to prepare for your first tournament. While this book is a great overview of tournament Scrabble in a nutshell, it’s not nearly as detailed, thorough, or systematic as the other books below.
