Scrabble Is a Game that Made Me Realize How Dumb I am

My name is Frizky Karunia Saputra, from class 3SA05, with 10623071 NPM.

  

    In this college assignment, we were tasked to play a game called 'Scrabble' a game that tests your fast thinking and vocabulary skills.

    I did not know what Scrabble was before this assignment. But after playing for the first time, I realized how stupid and slow I am. Even competing against a bot for a 3-minute match had an absurdly embarrassing result. The bot managed to beat me by a lot of points and there were a lot of moments where I had to take more than 25 seconds to think of what word I could put onto the board. The match made me question my skills and talents in English. Needless to say that I will never touch this game ever again until I have honed my skills further in discovering new vocabularies. 

Here are the screenshots from that match:
