couple more tips

Learn a new word every day use it in the game until its stuck in your brain. Also another trick i have seen that often works, think i have seen Dorcas talk about it too, is to use all the vowels up on your turn where you can. This can sometimes work to your advantage and doesnt hurt to give it a shot. In open pinks games i try to always look for the clear on any board too from the first rack on. I know some of ya look for that first stack but that will bite you on the ass if you arent careful.
