How can you tell if someone cheats on scrabble?

Answer 1

There are several ways that people cheat at Scrabble - if you're playing face-to-face, they may try and hide tiles (particularly an S or a blank tile). Or they may fumble in the bag to try and figure out what tile they pick out.

If you're playing online, there are Scrabble cheat sites that let people determine what words you can make from the letters they have. One easy way to check if they are cheating is to ask them for the definition of the word they just used - if they're using a cheat tool it's likely that they won't have a good answer for you!

Another way to determine if they are cheating is if they're simply making words that you'd never use in conversation. Everyone has a standard set of words that they use in everyday speech, and if they suddenly start using complicated or obscure words it's possible they're getting help.
