8. Can a professional player make a living from playing Scrabble?

9. What sort of training programs do they undertake to develop their skills?

10. What strategies do professional players use to win matches?

So, I promptly obliged with the informative reply below:

Dear Mohammad,

I am advised that you are doing some "research" on scrabble. I have been requested to help you answer some questions.

I can only tell you that scrabble is a silly game played by silly people. I believe that you would be a secondary school student in your early years of secondary schooling. Please select, or ask your humanities teacher to select for you, a better research topic, that would be worthy of your time.

So, Mohammad replied with:

No worries, thank you.

You might have noticed that Mohammad did not use the old traditional ocker “no worries mate”.
