This is not a rare sentiment in Scrabble it is, in fact, something of a necessity to surrender yourself to the whim of the game Unlike chess, which is a distillation of learned strategy, success in Scrabble hinges on constantly shifting fate. You never know whether you'll get that precious blank or a fistful of garbage. The bag is god, the bag is chaos—and Scrabble is, in that narrow sense, quite like life; you can only work with the pieces you're given. That's why so many top-level players burn out. "They get frustrated because they know so much but they can't reach the pinnacle," says Cree. "They get screwed by Lady Luck, and it's just too much to take."
