At the World Scrabble Championships in Warsaw, Poland, a letter “G” was noticed to be missing from a game set only at the last draw and was replaced with another by the referee after all attempts to find the original had failed. When asked how he felt about the game, the winner suspiciously answered, “GGreat.”
The search for the missing letter even went so far as to demand that the players empty their pockets. Since they are World Champion level players, neither of them had the letter. Since they are World Champion Scrabble players, neither of them had any money, either.
According to the official rules, the replacement “G” was a letter of apology.
Since the G was dropped, the competitors were not really playing Scrabble, but were merely playin.’
