Memorizing Scrabble Word Lists?

Language Learning
1

I’m Scrabble beginner and I am trying to improve to become competitive. I just finished memorizing the 2 letter words through rote memorization. I want to be more efficient in studying word lists. Here is how I plan to phase my learning:

  1. Hooks to 2-letter words to make 3-letter words
  2. 3 and 4 Letter words with JQXZ
  3. Top 50 most probable 7 letter words (Alphagrams)
  4. Top 100 most probable 8 letter words (Alphagrams)
  5. The rest of the 3 letter words

What memory techniques should I use for each phase? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Hmmmmmmmm…

I semi want to try this with you but I’m not a scrabble player. I have recently been thinking of attempting a dictionary.

I see an opportunity here -

JQXZ 3 and four letter words.. I would -

Read all the words on the list for J (probably take a while), then go back and choose a mental image that I feel will associate well with those words, one image, that means “J”.

Now, say J is a jester. Im going to read the words again and simply have J there, in my imagination, reading with me. And WE are going to highlight which words feel that they might be harder to remember.

Number these words.

Make lists of 10.

Each day, J is ACTING OUT the meaning of the word while you note its spelling in your memory. Each day, 10 words, in a story, about J. 10 word story chunks. Each can be recalled from any point in the story (or rather, any word on the list of 10 associated).

Now move on to Q, maybe a queen.

Rote is broke man don’t do it. build a system. Three letter words could take place in one location (maybe family home)

four letter words could be held in elementary school or something.

For each list, each day, perform the same ritual actions (irl) while attempting to encode the story that comes out of your J symbol acting out the word meanings. Always eat before and shower after for instance. or do it after something.

Best of luck homie, any questions and I’ll do my best.
