Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. An anagram is another word or words you can make with the same letters, such as TOENAIL and ELATION. If you know the word ROSEATE, and get an opportunity to play it, there is no other way you can rearrange the letters to make a different 7 letter word. What is the meaning of the word ROSEATE?
2. When you play all 7 of your tiles in one turn you score a bonus of 50 points. Competitive Scrabble players try to know useful words that have 7 letters, because that 50 point bonus can make a huge difference to your chances of winning the game. The next word is GODETIA. What is the meaning of the word GODETIA?
3. Some words will surprise you by turning a rack of mostly low-scoring vowels into a good score for playing a bingo (a scrabble term for playing all seven of your tiles). One word like that is AEOLIAN. What is the meaning of the word AEOLIAN?
4. Some words are useful even after you have played them because you can extend them in ways your opponent might not have thought of. ENATION is a word like that, but first what is the meaning of the word ENATION?
5. Aeolus would have liked our next word, which looks like an adjective and is an adjective, but because it can also be used as a noun it can have an S placed on the end. What is the meaning of the word ETESIAN?
6. Some useful Scrabble words have simple meanings, but can be hard to think of because we don't use that form of the root word in every day speech. I believe this next example falls into that category. What is the meaning of the word ERASION?
7. Some words come to us from other languages. This word has French origins. What is the meaning of the word DARIOLE?
8. Everyone has their own way of spotting words that they can make from the tiles on their rack. With this one I usually see that I have the words EAR and NOSE and then it is a short step to the only playable 7 letter word, which is ARENOSE. What is the meaning of the word ARENOSE?
9. The world of science is another area that is a rich source of words our opponent might not be familiar with. One such word with very common letters is ANISOLE. What is the meaning of the word ANISOLE?
10. Some words have dropped from the forefront of our mind because they are no longer commonly used when describing something. For example most people would be familiar with the word barometer, but fewer would have heard of the term ANEROID barometer. What is the meaning of the word ANEROID?
