How to Play Scrabble Like a Pro | Classroom A | 10 a.m.
Think you’re good at Scrabble because you scored 300 points and crushed your cousin over winter break? Time for a reality check. Competitive Scrabble is fast, strategic, and unforgiving — more like chess or poker than a cozy family game.

In this interactive workshop, two of North America’s top players, Scott Appel and Eric Goldstein, will share tips, tricks, and tactics that can elevate your game instantly. From tile-tracking and rack-balancing to board vision and endgame strategy, you’ll get a crash course in what it takes to think like a Scrabble champ. Bring your curiosity — and maybe a notebook.
