    Getting rid of scoring in scrabble is definitely stupid. If you don’t want to keep score, just don’t. I don’t think I’ve ever bothered, but it’s still a game with a scoring system and plenty of people use it. Didn’t need doing. I don’t know which side of that argument counts as woke and I really don’t care.

      Kinda arrogant to tell people that the way they enjoy a game is stupid. It’s a good thing the new Scrabble boards offer this scoreless variant as a variant, while the opposite side of the board remains the same scrabble you’ve grown accustomed to.

        Oh, so it hasn’t changed at all then, it’s a non-story. Should have realised. Incidentally you’re mistaken, I said I don’t ever use the scoring system but that redesigning the game was nevertheless stupid, because you can already choose not to use it.

          It’s not stupid to provide a proper board and a structured system for a variant of the game that people enjoy

            That’s fine. I barely care about my own opinion on this.

      You can still play Scrabble the original way and no one will stop you.
