This week on the tell, Rhiannon is buffeted by the Wiki Winds into the world of competitive Scrabble. We talk about the history of the game, those who play it, and what counts as a word. Rhiannon does her best to avoid ranting about the existence of dictionaries.

This podcast is produced and edited by me, Rhiannon. Music written and performed by our resident noisemaker, Tay Clarke. Find the show online at www.thatsnicepod.com, or follow our Instagram, @thatsnicepod.
