Just learned a new, high-value Scrabble word for everyone. Zarf.

[brush]

2. A cardboard sleeve fitted around a hot, disposable beverage container.

Note? It's the second definition as they've been around in the Middle East for ages—fancier and not disposable.

[we can do it]

1. ?

[brush]

10. Zarf. Forgot to include the word.

It'll be great for a triple word score.

[we can do it]

20. Haha.😹 It should be easy to remember.

[Ocelot II]

2. Is that a "zarf"?

[Solly Mack]

3. Yes

[brush]

4. Oops. It would help if I mentioned the word. Zarf.

[Solly Mack]

8. Yes, but it was fun playing DU Jeopardy. :)

[Baitball Blogger]

14. No points, because it should have been stated as a question.

As in, What is a Zarf?

[Solly Mack]

18. True

[MrsCoffee]

31. Unless it's round one, then they get a semi-reminder first.

6. Oops. It would help if I mentioned the word. Zarf

5. For completeness, here's the first definition:

"1. A chalicelike holder for a hot coffee cup, typically made of ornamented metal, used in the Middle East."

23. Hermione poured polyjuice potion into

zarfs with tall glasses.

[Hekate]

26. That's our girl!

Zarf!

[CurtEastPoint]

7. "ZOMG... I'm gonna zarf!"

9. Thanks!

I've been playing a version of Scrabble since I've been laid up for a few weeks (broken foot - almost healed!).

[electric_blue68]

11. Aha! Ty. 😄 I play a different word game connecting letters in a square to make words. Each game w

different letters.

[underpants]

12. I didn't know it was called that.

[ProfessorGAC]

13. Cool!

Another short one, because it uses the F is "weft". Those are the cross yarns in a loom.
But, using the Z is big.

[brush]

21. Warp and weft, right?

[ProfessorGAC]

22. Yep!

I actually only knew it because it was a Jeopardy question when I was a kid. (Art Fleming days.) For whatever reason, I never forgot it.

[calimary]

25. That's the next Republican presidential ticket, right?

[Hekate]

27. Democrats are proud of being Weft! Republicans are warped.

[keithbvadu2]

15. OK! I would have challenged that.

I'll take the penalty.

[paleotn]

16. Thanks! One more bit of interesting trivia....

to add to my collection of semi-useless but interesting trivia. Think I'll file it next to "Aglet". The plastic end of a shoelace.

[brush]

19. Oh my. Aglet. Thanks. Can't wait to use that on game night too.

[malaise]

17. Nice

Will drive them crazy over the holidays😀

[TreasonousBastard]

24. Must have been listening to the same NPR show I was.

[brush]

28. Yes, exactly.

[onethatcares]

29. these will definitely come in handy

wife and I play scrabble every evening at our happy hour (started during the pandemic) and it gives us something else to fight about ( )

Did you realize Scrabble can be a blood sport?

We have the 50 y/o maroon box with wood tiles and holders that is starting to fall apart.

[moonscape]

30. I have that one too! :)
