The problem, of course, is convincing us "old hat" Scrabble fanatics to change our minds on the point values. "Only 5 points for an 'X'? Nonsense!". Then again, competitive Scrabble and the original foundation of the game have little in common, methinks. Rather frequently I think about the Scrabble-likes (Words with Friends, Literati, etc) and the boards themselves. I am more curious about the designs and placements of the premium squares than the value of the tiles.

Interesting analysis though.
