Not to be the biggest nerd, but "Wordplay" is the New York Times Crossword Puzzle doc and "Word Wars" was the Scrabble doc. I personally prefer the Scrabble doc myself.

Indeed, this is one of the most cleverly linked posts in quite some time. I like the "quixotic" reference as well. Very nice!

I have to say - for someone who doesn't like the game itself, I have actually sat an watched the World Series of Scrabble on ESPN and those are some seriously smart and strategic mofos.

I actually saw a "I'd Rather Be Playing Scrabble" bumper sticker yesterday, I was so sad I didn't have my camera.
