Top 5 SCRABBLE WORDS  from the Bible:

Jesus is the Logos and ‘logos’ in Greek means 'word'. Since Christians are all called to be lovers of Jesus, the Word of God, this makes us by definition, ‘Logo-philes’.

Furthermore, people who love words (logophiles) are destined to excel at the game Scrabble.

Being fluent in weird Bible words has given me an advantage in many competitive Scrabble games. Here are my top five go-to Scrabble words associated with the Bible…

ALMS: A noun - Money or goods given as charity to the poor.

‘We give alms to the poor, especially during Lent’. 

BAAL: A proper noun and a common noun - often capitalized, referring to a Semitic deity or a demon. The word itself can be traced back to ancient Semitic languages, where it meant "owner" or "lord".

"The baal of the field was responsible for its harvest".

BEGOT: A verb- to bring (a child) into existence by the process of reproduction.

‘Abraham begot Isaac and Isaac begot Jacob’. 

GIRD: A verb - to encircle or bind with a belt or band, to surround, or to prepare for action. The word can also be conjugated as "girded" or "girt". 

‘Gird your loins and light your lamps and be like servants who await their master’s return from a wedding.’ 

JUDAS: A proper noun and a common noun - referring to a traitor or someone who betrays under the guise of friendship.

‘That judas gave our opponents the playbook before the game.’

Yes, the Bible gives us an advantage in Scrabble but more importantly it gives us an advantage in life. Reading the scriptures to improve your Scrabble score is like number 564 on the list of reasons to read the Bible. Grow in your relationship with God and build your vocabulary. Be lovers of words but more importantly be a lover of the Word.
