Scrabble's Famous Last Words: PIGEONITE

At the prestigious Alchemist Cup Scrabble tournament in 2018, Hubert Wee made an incredible final move to steal victory from the jaws of defeat. VERY few Scrabble players would have spotted this move!

The mental acuity to even come up with this as a possibility is world class. His annotated games are very intriguing. This is masterclass thinking and word knowledge.

I bet his opponent was like "Pig? What a wea- oh, okay Pigeon that's a neat pla- wait why is he still laying down tiles"

Small issue, the picture you used is actually of Pigeon Point in California and not the one in Minnesota. Probably won’t matter to most people but it did confuse me having been there before lol

Awesome video! So glad to see the start of this series

[OfficialGidfather]

Every time I see one of these i just want to study.

[AmaranthRBY]

Nice word and nice word knowledge! All Pokémon names should be added to the scrabble dictionary

[Fireball]

So its not named after pigeons but named after a place thats named after pigeons… okay

[eenayeah]

Scrabble could have its own ELO system

Remember kids, pigeonite is from Pigeon point, and cummingtonite is from cummington

[AlliSinned]

Pidgeot + Dragonite fusion = Pigeonite, a legal scrabble word. Good to know

Vannitha could have blocked the bingo A line for less points as otherwise EEIIONT doesn’t yield a seven letter word elsewhere on the board. The only way for Hubert to win would be to get a nine letter word.

Since when was 'IA' a word (it's in the upper right)?

[ltsjack]

Binking the one outer as we would say in poker

[devincase]

Your channel is absolutely brilliant. This is a prime example of someone grateful to be able to share amazing things.

[AustinS-xl]

There is no way his name is Hubert Wee

[sapphiresuicune]

Is that a sprite from Final Fantasy VI? Looks like an SNES Bahamut something

[SuperN]
