Zygo makes word-champs for free - their national level tourney today features Scrabble, Jumble, Speltz and so much more. Sunday also has Korean films to move you, a mridangam genius in concert, and endless New Year craft shopping.
One fallout of watching a 3-day championship on word games of every kind is that you might just end up dumbstruck at how little of the language you really know.
