Robby Rules at Scrabble

Any tips on how to beat Robby at Scrabble?

At first, I was pretty proud of my first word: "docile". But then Robby puts down "flog" & earns 43 points from capturing the triple-word space. Not only that, but I have the gumption to challenge "fe", which turns out being a Hebrew letter. Ugh. Why are Hebrew letters & Chinese words in the Scrabble dictionary? I checked up "li" & found "a Chinese measurement of distance." Ugh. Are Turkish and Danish words in there too?!

Continuing, I lost any hope of winning, so I decided to put down creative, long words instead of point-heavy words. I was only able to come up with "hive", "adroit", "butt", & "garb". Almost got "coitus". That's what happens when one pulls too many vowels.

Robby did the impossible again & put down a seven-letter word: "tirade(s)". Whoa! That really damaged my chances of winning. I played futilely until the very end, dreading each time I had to reach into the bag for new letters.

By the way "mo" is a word.
