Okay… what game are Paige and Nicole even playing? Methinks ’tis Scrabble.

So it IS true. Paige is a complete airhead who can’t come up with “big words”. One time in high school, all of us brainiacs were playing Scrabble™, and we had big and rare words (for high schoolers) like “omen” and “oxide” and “dioxide” and “monoxide”, and one onlooker kept staring at the board, and stared at it, and stared at it, and stared at it, and finally just blurted really loud, “WHAT’S ‘E-Y-E’???!!!” Yes, that person was also one of the brainacs. Forgot to shift the brain back into first gear, I guess. :D :D :D

You want a game that destroys friendships, try five minutes of “Mario Party”.

They made a physical board game version of it, meaning you can find words with friends sold on the same shelf as actual scrabble.

Methinks Nicole is cheating.

this is good

There’s a Calvin & Hobbes strip similar to this. Calvin spelled “Be”, then Hobbes, spelled “Zygomorphic”, then Calvin spelled “In”, then Hobbes spelled “Nucleoplasm”.
