Will's Play of the Week #9 - Welcome to 2026!

Added 2026-01-18 20:54:45 +0000 UTC

Hey all, happy belated holiday season & new year! It's time to get back to posting Will's Play of the Week.

To reiterate a couple things I say in the video:

I want to thank our recent influx of new patrons - it's hugely appreciated as we continue along our journey of growing the audience for & interest in competitive Scrabble. Of course, I'd also extend those thanks to all patrons, new or old. I'm working hard (as hard as I've ever worked on anything in my life) to continue on this path, and truly appreciate your support.

I'm still working on what tournaments I'll be able to play this year. I haven't made a final decision on the big Causeway Challenge tournament coming up this summer (the field is insane and can be viewed here), but I'll do my best to get out and compete as often as I can.

Regarding Will's Play of the Week, while my local club (where these games usually come from) plays with the North American lexicon, I will only be selecting plays where the "best" play (whether I found it or not) is valid in both the North American and worldwide (Collins) lexicons, so everyone can play along with each video no matter what.

Enjoy!
