But on June tenth, this is important. On June tenth,
they released a new app and it's called cross Play,
which is literally just online Scrabble, but it's done through
New York Times.

Generation two ahead of my time. Wow, I used to
play online Scrabble like the official Scrabble. It's so good.

I love it and it's just good for my mindfulness.
It's so good for words.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
And yeah, I just have a dictionary. And if you
don't know if the word this is how because me
and my dad play. If you don't know whether it's
a word or not, you can't play it. If you
need a dictionary to cross check, you can't play it.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
It shows up if it's a valid word or not.
