QUOTABLE QUOTES

Brain GAMES SHARPEN YOUR MIND

WORD POWER • Bingo! In honor of National Scrabble Day on April 13, we've gathered some doozies. Each of these words nets at least 20 points (scores in parentheses) and is seven letters long, meaning you'd also earn 50 points for using all your letters—a bingo in Scrabble lingo. (Answers on next page.)

Two for the Win • Scrabble pros memorize words containing high-scoring letters J, Q, X and Z. But an easier way to win at home, experts say, is to play high-scoring two-letter words, such as qi, from Chinese philosophy, and xu, the monetary unit of Vietnam. Acceptable twosomes include slang such as za (for pizza), Greek letters pi, nu and xi, and interjections such as hm, mm and sh.
