Scrabble really is a great game.

Rita Norr of Danbury Conn., the only woman ever to win a national championship, in 1987, played the word MATERIAL. In one go, Andrew Golding, an IT professional from Verdun, Quebec, placed RE in front of it and IZE at the end to make REMATERIALIZE. The R landed on a triple-word-score square, and the word totaled 93 points. Rita later tacked on a D: REMATERIALIZED. A 14-letter word. There are 15 rows on a Scrabble board.

Wish I'd done that. The linked article describes how players who can barely speak a word of English are kicking people's asses at Scrabble. Also how one player could see through the special plastic tiles being used during the championship, requiring an immediate change in racks.
