Scrabble Word of the Day -- QI

In the Player's Dictionary, 4th Edition, you can now play the word QI -- and I expect you'll be able to in the 2nd Edition of the Club/Tourney dictionary as well. This is going to make an enormous difference in games. Make sure you know it, then zap any players unfamiliar with the change. (Don't use it in tournament or club play until the new words are accepted, though.)

I truly believe that QI and ZA (short for pizza), now in the 4th Edition, are the biggest changes of all. They're going to create huge new opportunities for big points because, at last, Q and Z can easily be played in two directions, especially on double and triple word or letter tiles. Imagine getting QI or ZA in two directions on a TLS -- that's an easy 62 points without a BINGO.
