The title of this post is an anagram for "I Hate Anagrams." Every Sunday I listen to the Puzzle Master, Will Shortz, on NPR. Some days I do pretty well playing along with the contestants, some days, not so much. The days I really do poorly are the anagram days. Hence, the title of this post.I watched Word Wars today (streaming on Netflix), and now I know why I also don't enjoy Scrabble. It's a game of anagrams. It's also a game of knowing many, many words (without necessarily knowing their definitions). I enjoy other word games, such as Apples to Apples, Categories and Dictionary, so I've always wondered why I don't like Scrabble. Now I know.
