| Word Wars | comment |
Word Wars is a 2004 documentary film directed by Eric Chaikin and Julian Petrillo about competitive Scrabble playing. The film follows four players—Joe Edley, Matt Graham, Marlon Hill, and Joel Sherman—in the nine months leading up to the 2002 National Scrabble Championship, which was held in San Diego.The film shines a spotlight on the Serious Business nature of high-level competition in Scrabble; few of the players are shown to have any other real hobbies and in most cases, even regular jobs, as the practice and play time needed to be competitive leaves little time for anything else. Considering that the tournament cash prizes aren't really that substantial, it becomes obvious that it's done purely out of love of the game and competition more than anything else.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); }) | |

Black and Nerdy: Marlon again. He's shown that this makes him an odd duck in his neighborhood in the inner city of Baltimore. | |

Crowd Chant: The lively crowd in the park watching the Champ and the amatuer was cited as one of the factors that threw off the Champ's game. | |

Dreaming the Truth | |
| Word Wars / int_53f0f67e | comment |
Dreaming the Truth: Joe says he often dreams in anagrams due to his constant play. Once in a dream he anagrammed a word into "antipolice" and woke up to see whether it was a real word. It was. | |
