Playing Scrabble's Most Useless Word

Did you know that ZZZ is a Scrabble word? Probably not, since it's close to impossible to play. But one expert player showed that in the right scenario, even ZZZ can be a dream play...

Lmao Brit and Skas into Britzskas had me absolutely dying

[oneiria.]

Considering PIZZAZZ and PIZZAZZY are in the OSPD7, despite being technically impossible to play, I’d argue those are the least likely words you’d play ;)

I ONCE got to play QUETZALS across two triple words + it was a bingo. T was double letter, so 27*9+50 =293 points by itself. When you added all the other connections, it was 380

[nicolasfrisch]

honestly the most clean transition I've seen on any short

Jason Katz-Brown is the only player I’ve ever seen play ZZZ in a tournament game. Obviously the Z was on the TLS. Fun stuff.

OH MY GOOD THE LOOP
Edit: the move is pretty sweet too...

Zyzzyva arguably is more useless. Need also would need both y's and a v.

Commented and liked just because I love seeing your scrabble content gain popularity. Got my mum into it recently. Keep it up will!

I played it in club once. My last two letters were ?Z and there was a bingo of EGOTIzE on the board. I played (z)zZ with the real Z on the triple letter score for 30 points and out.

absolute content overlord will anderson at it again

[thatliquidthing]

I’m sure it would be even better in Superscrabble…

[suspiciousshadeofgreen]

Scrabble is really fun becaus one time I was playing against a friend and he played “wombat” and then quit when I played “wombats”

[fabilikesbutter]

technically zyzzyva is even harder to play since no only do you need 3 ZZZ's, but you also need 2 Y's, V and an A

[Notester]

What an insane set of circumstances! :D Also nice loop from the end to the beginning, haha!

[Alanmoore]

Make one with ZZZS so the Z hits the DL!

[SightlySinner]

Highly unlikely scenario but fascinating nonetheless.

[amthy]

fr like how is this even a thing my dream
play is to play frequent as a bingo.

[Headhunter_]

I believe that play is called a “bazzzingo”

[whisperSSG]

oh i get it dream play because you need dream luck

[CoachJohnMcGuirk]

1st word of the game: zzz
Your turn! 😂
