It's time for the next installment of the ABC Wednesday series, where I go over some of the basics of competitive scrabble... this week: M!
Well, this isn't really a 'basic concept' of competitive scrabble, but I couldn't think of one that started with M. Anyways, some of the craziest 'scrabble words' are often currencies from other countries. In fact, I often feature a 'currency of the month' in my scrabble podcast on iTunes.
In the scrabble dictionary, though, it's usually called a 'monetary unit of ______'.
Here's a few fun ones (with countries listed) for you, from ATT to ZLOTY:
ATT Laos BAIZA Oman CRORE India DIRHAM Morocco EYRIR Iceland
FORINT Hungary GOURDE Haiti HAO Vietnam INTI Peru
JEON South Korea KHOUM Mauritania LAARI Maldives
MILESIMO Chile NGWEE Zambia OUGUIYA Mauritania
PARA Yugoslavia QINTAR Albania RIAL Iran SATANG Thailand
TAKA Bangladesh VATU Vanatu XU Vietnam YUAN China ZLOTY Poland

Quintar. I've often wondered what that meant. Of course, not enough to go look it up. Now I don't have to, thank you very much.:-)
I've heard you mention a few on your podcast (which I need to resubscribe to, now that my computer got wiped!), but this is handier.

My Letter M, hope you can come and see. Have a nice day!
Beautiful M entry!
Will you lease come and see my Letter M? Thank you!
I was in Hungary for two days and had to deal with the Forint. Converting it was too much for my feeble brain.
Great post. A few more visits and my scrabble game will improve dramatically...IF I can only remember all this cool stuff!
Thanks,
Meryl
