Because if I were not the best wife ever, I probably would not tell you this delightful story about our recent Scrabble game, as follows.
Stephan plays his first word:
Me, being nice, because Scrabble is My Game and we’re only playing it because I’m tired of losing at Rook: “Here, let me help you”:
After further conversation, in which it is revealed that he doesn’t, technically, know what the rules are and in which he learns about bingos (50 extra points for using all seven tiles in one play):
Yes, Internets, that is “ZOMBIES,” which when placed correctly on the first turn gives you 102 POINTS, even with the O and B as blanks.
And that is the end of the story.
Yep. Nothing else to say.
IT’S OVER!

That is possibly the coolest word I have ever seen on a Scrabble board! I hope you still walloped him by the end of the game? We can’t have Scrabble upstarts beating us aficionados.
If we had been playing regulation rules (specifically the one about using the dictionary only for challenges), I might have. Also if he had not been hoarding all of the I’s. But he’s actually pretty good, misspelling of the word “stop” this one time notwithstanding.
You’re a better spouse than I am, Stephan. I won’t even play scrabble with Chad.
