Let's say then, that I find her an unskilled player.

Now I've opened up the board, it's a whole new game. I'm 80 points in the lead and lots of space to play in.

Dyslexia isn't really an issue in Scrabble, you can use the ingame spellchecker to check a word is valid before you play it. There's an on-screen list of valid two-letter words to give you a hand.

I don't think she's stupid, some of her moves aren't bad at all. I suspect half her problem is that she puts down the first word that comes to mind without looking to see if there's a better one.
