It’s April 13. 
Today is “Scrabble Day ™.”  Would you rather be stuck with no consonants or no vowels when playing?

Trivial Fact of the Day:   The Scrabble™ dictionary contains 35 playable words that use the letter q but require no u to follow it.  Faqir (a Hindu monk), qiviut (musk ox wool), and umiaq (a type of Eskimo boat) are three.  Know any others?

Interesting Quote of the Day:  “Children are the most desirable opponents at Scrabble™ as they are both easy to beat and fun to cheat.”  -Fran Liebowitz (American author)
Vocabulary Word of the Day:  dupe (noun or verb) – a person who is easily tricked is a dupe, and to trick or cheat someone is to dupe them.  Ever been duped?
