mu-zjik n [Russ] : 1. a Russian peasant. 2. The highest-scoring stand-alone word possible in SCRABBLE, earning the lexical leviathans who drop it 29 points, plus another fifty if they’re clearing their rack at the end of the game — and that’s without any of that sissy triple-word-count baloney. If you can’t beat that, then bust out the old Merriam-Webster’s to brush up on your vocabulary for Improving Your SCRABBLE, a tournament and seminar presented by the Denver/Boulder SCRABBLE Association at the Tattered Cover LoDo, 1628 16th Street, today from 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. During the seminar, laymen can get the necessary tools to dominate the grid like true letter-block artists. The tournament is open to association members only; for membership and tournament fee information, call 303-506-2730. For event details, call 303-436-1070. And you’d better be a word whiz, or you’ll be going down to some seven-letter K-I-L-L-E-R-S. That’s 61 points, bitch.
