2025-01-11
Nigel Richards, a 57-year-old from New Zealand, won the 2024 Spanish-Lan-guage Scrabble World Championship in Granada, Spain, despite not speaking Spanish.
Known as the `Tiger Woods of Scrabble,` Richards memorised thousands of Spanish words without learning their meanings, a feat he previously accomplished in the French-Language Scrabble Championship in 2015.
Richards` incredible memory and ability to strategise with words make him a dominant force in competitive Scrabble.
