Oct 23rd 2011, 10:06

In December 2001, The Wall Street Journal featured a special section about e-commerce; one of the articles in it was entitled "Pick Your Passion."

As part of that article, Scrabble guru Joel Sherman -- featured prominently in Stefan Fatsis' book Word Freak -- listed five of his favorite Scrabble-related Web sites. Here they are.

National Scrabble Association

The NSA is the official U.S. Scrabble organization, founded in 1978 and responsible for overseeing 200-plus Scrabble clubs and running more than 175 Scrabble tournaments each year. Their site is packed with Scrabble resources, and it's a great place to explore for anyone interested in becoming a more active Scrabble player.

Scrabble FAQ and Other Crossword Game Resources

A solid resource full of links to useful sites, including the FAQ maintained by Steven Alexander. Tournament listings, tournament rules, a rating calculator, word lists, and much more. This site should be in the bookmark lists of all Scrabble devotees.

LeXpert

LeXpert was a free software program for fans of word games. Unfortunately, it appears to have been discontinued.

DOoM FAQ

DOoM may sound more like something that video gamers would be interested in, but it's a Scrabble resource for sure. Well, technically it's a generic crossword game resource. But once you figure out what it is and how to use it (the FAQ is very helpful), you can find some quality opponents.

BobGrid

BobGrid was a Java application which could help players on the DOoM resource listed above. It appears to have been discontinued.
