Scrabble Player Hats

Scrabble is a game that runs on a dictionary and an argument. When QI, ZA, FE, KI and OI joined the North American tournament word list along with about 11,000 other words, the average score rose roughly 10 points per player per game overnight, which is why a two-letter word is worth defending at the table. A phony stays on the board and scores if the opponent does not challenge it, and in North American club play a failed challenge costs the challenger their turn, so every kitchen-table game contains a small trial. The cheating stories are part of the lore too: in August 2012 a minor was ejected from the National Scrabble Championship in Florida for hiding blank tiles. Even Seinfeld has Jerry's mother playing the made-up word quone. These Scrabble hats are for the player who lives in that world. Two badges name the game and the club. The sentence designs carry the dictionary lawyer, the player who knows words that are not words, the 47-point play nobody can define, the blank hoarder, the triple word score and the sore winner. QI IS A WORD and the dictionary lawyer line each get a second colorway. Every design is custom embroidered on an unstructured dad hat. Choose one for your own seat at the board, or give one to the relative who has never lost a challenge gracefully.
