Scrabble Word of the Day -- ZZZ

Today's word of the day is another new one I found in the 4th edition of the recreational dictionary ... so potentially this will soon be available for club and tournament use as well. The word is "ZZZ" -- as in the noise a cartoon makes when he's sleeping.

This one isn't nearly so useful as yesterday's word, "ZA," because it requires the use of the Z tile as well as both blanks, and I can't see anyone in their right mind using it unless it's toward the end of the game and they want to double- or triple-word the "Z". Otherwise, who would waste the blanks on a non-BINGO?

But when it comes to Scrabble, any extra words you know gives you a little more ammo to win.
