Scrabble Alternatives
Looking for something to do while hibernating through a triple digit heat-wave? Try one of the various forms of Jalpunascrabble:
- Fiction Scrabble: Anything counts as a word so long as it sounds like a word, and so long as you have a fake definition for it.
- Ikea Scrabble: If it sounds like it could be the name of a product from Ikea, you can play it. You must describe the product it sounds like it would be. Ekeskog, for example. 25 point bonus if it actually exists (which, by the way, Ekeskog does. Here it is in Skoka Beige).
- Jihad Scrabble: Create combinations of letters that sound like what Osama Bin Laden is saying in his many videos (before translation to English of course). You have to say what the word means, but that's easy. When in doubt, just say "Death to America."
- Hogwarts Scrabble: Create your own potions, spells, and magical creatures. 25 point bonus for anything featured in one of J. K. Rowling's books.
- Muppet Wet-Bar Scrabble: You know that Fozzy and Gonzo can hold their liquor - unless they're trying to keep up with that drummer guy or the Swedish Chef... but, I'm sure you also know they don't drink typical human drinks. They whip up their own concoctions - especially when partying at home. Well... name the drinks. All you have to do is be able to pronounce 'em and list what's in 'em. And by the way, is it just me, or does it look like the Swedish Chef is always drunk? How has he not lost his gig on that show....? I mean, really. What kind of example is he setting for our children? Damn!
- Redneck Scrabble: More or less real words, spelled the way they're pronounced in Alabama. Note: vowels will go fast.

One of the most important rule in Redneck Scrabble is that while spelling has no issue here, you MUST be able to use it in a sentence. example: Hachew; I tell my sister everyday, "I hachew"! or sidown; My teacher tells me all day long to sidown!
