“These [wordplay] curiosities are not in themselves difficult to construct, nor does their solution provide⟳ anything much deeper than the solver's thrill, that quite minor delight that the crossword-puzzler or Scrabblist derives from his addiction.”

“I didn't even have⟳ to leave⟳ my desk to indulge in my new addiction: online Scrabble. […] I'd begun playing with accomplished Scrabblists, and soon I was ranked thirty-second among my Facebook “friends”—twenty notches lower than those who had never even played.”

“Unlike Scrabblists, spelling champions […] know⟳ the meanings of many of the words and have⟳ studied etymology and […] morphology. They read⟳ dictionaries, not lists of six-letter words containing j, k, or q, suggesting the knowledge they acquire⟳ has greater utility.”
