I played Scrabble with my husband, nephew, and s-i-l last night, too. I hadn't played it for probably 35 years. Obviously I was at an extreme disadvantage since it was a Czech version, but nonetheless I got a couple short words. The rest of the time my husband pretty much played my letter tiles (or whatever they are called). He did quite well for me, but "I" lost mostly because my remaining letters were high point ones that were hard to use.
