Scrabble isn't a game of who can get the best 6 letter words. It's a game of points and squeezing 2 letter terms into corners. Mehal Shah takes us through clean and sometimes dirty ways to win at Scrabble.

Some of his tips include:

- Thinking of Scrabble as a numbers game, instead of a word game
- Learning how to double the value of every tile you play
- Shutting down the board and holding on to every point you can get
- Learning how to bluff effectively
- Learning how to fake a bluff effectively
- Using your opponents knowledge to trick them
- Using foreign languages to psych out your opponent
