April 13 is National Scrabble Day. It's not a well-known holiday — except to word lovers. But it can be a fun day with family and friends. I went poking around on the 'Net to see how people celebrate the wordy holiday and here's what I found:

First, of course, play scrabble! But there can be more to it than that.

• Throw a scrabble party for friends, relatives and other word nerds.
• Play one of the new and fun Scrabble-based games to make play more difficult and interesting.
• How about serving up some Scrabble tile cookies? Here's a great recipe.
• Use new words added to the dictionary for the New Age like "selfie", "bromance" and "hashtag" and let the challenges begin!
• Find a local tournament and play against the best of the best.

Finally, try to use the word  Oxyphenbutazone, which is an anti-inflammatory drug, to get the highest possible score for one word. Of course, your odds of being able to do that are similar to winning the lottery, but if you did, you'd score 1,778 points in one play!
