You can either pull something out of nowhere and look like a genius, or you can wait and wait for a miracle to happen (drawing a “U” on the next turn). an evergreen shrub (an alternate spelling of KAT)Ī “Q” without a “U” is like finals week. Whether you are trying to connect with someone else’s “EX” (not normally a good a idea in the real world, but a great strategy in Scrabble) or happen to have a K in your rack, this can turn a good turn into a great turn.
