You sound like you scrabble, so have you ever tried playing a round where you can only use combinations of letters that are NOT a word?
Do scrabblers do that?
I mean, I just “invented” it in my mind but immediately decided someone has SURELY done so before, it’s probably common.
And does it have a name?
If not, dibs on Elbbarcs!

I played a few games of reverse Scrabble where you try to get the lowest score…

Sounds like it would be a lot easier, and even more of a ‘board control’ game. And you’d be able to play your whole 7 letters in pretty much every turn (if you wanted to), since you’ll always be able to find some combination of your 7 letters that doesn’t form a real word. Or … at least almost always? I find it hard to imagine any combination of 7 letters that will always spell a real word no matter which order you put them in.
