Scrabble Mania Takes a Turn

I was playing competitive scrabble with my cousin the other day when I suspected my anagram practice was getting in my way. was it helping or hurting? Frankly, it was difficult to decide. Taco-cat spelled backwards and forwards helped me to rapidly turn the tide. She took my best spot, which was going to give me 146 points, I was so mad, I nearly popped all my fingers out of place at their joints. I realized that what has already been routinely, nightly over-done may not be the best use of my time, as it has ceased to be so much fun.
