Welcome to the Wollongong Order of Really Dedicated Scrabblers website.

Please click on the Guestbook image let us know what you think about our content. We have added a lot of new articles since the last comment was made in our guestbook - so we'd really like to know if we are heading in the right direction. Certainly the consensus game is attracting more interaction but we'd like to know if there are other ways we might improve our content. Click on one of the email addresses located in our page footer if you'd like a reply.

We lost our first consensus game to Quackle. This is an experimental concept designed for us to share our thoughts during a live Scrabble game against the toughest computer player that Quackle can muster. Check out our Move 12. You will find there some post-game analyses.
