memorize the scrabble dictionary

and learned these words… ( or I am in the process of learning them )

Rusk : A sweetened biscuit
Cruse : A small bottle
Sol : The fifth tone in the diatonic musical scale
Sola : Plural of Sol
Ret : Soak in order to loosen the fiber from a woody tissue
Howe : A valley
Hant : To haunt
Sha : Interjection used to urge silence
Hist : To hoist
Cento : A literary work made up of parts from other works
Cete : A group of badgers
Botel : (or boatel) A waterside hotel

Ok there’s lots more but I’m too lazy to look them all up right now.

Well I don’t want to be able to list the words in order but when someone says a word like aba, I want to be able to say, yea that’s a sleeveless garment worn by arab women. It is by the way. I read pages 1 through 4 of my new onyx scrabble dictionary! I also learned that abrachia is lack of arms.
