UK Open Scrabble Championships winner describes ‘Eureka moment’

It was also the first since the Covid pandemic, and used the updated Collins dictionary, external, which means words such as fav, bruv, fam, unmute, and zoomers were applicable for the first time.

About 2,066 games took place during the competition, which played host to about 100 players from the UK and abroad.

In his acceptance speech Mr Lamabadusuriya said: “The diversity in this room in terms of age, occupation, country, ethnicity, continents is unbelievable.

“The one thing that we have in common is the love of this wonderful game.

“The one thing that’s better than the game is the community. It’s an incredible community.”
