Tip of the Day

Scrabble and WWF tip of the day: Easily remember all the three-letter *ae Scots dialect words by memorizing this sentence: "Wae tae him who'd nae gae tae hae sae mae kaes" (meaning "woe to him who'd not go to have some more Eurasian jackdaws.")

That sentence contains all the three-letter words that have the "ae" letter combination. Because the letters A and E are the two most frequently used letters in English, the two-letter word "ae" is seen quite a lot in Scrabble and Words. Knowing how to build off that AE, especially into three-letter words, is essential.

(On a side note, this relates to something else I am working on: a post listing and defining all the two-make-three words in Scrabble and WWF. It is quite a long project though; it will be a while before it's done.)
