I need some Scrabble pointers, thanks in advance. She is 91 and kicked my butt!

Or, you could just increase your vocabulary.
Unless, of course, you WERE looking for pointers on how to get to know her better.

(Actually, I'd like Johnny to have an inferiority complex...)

Find out if there is a Scrabble club in your area, and if there is, go!

Virtually everyone who attends one for more than one session learns quite a lot of pointers.

I think that the most important part of your question was telling us that you play scrabble with your grandmother. I hope my grandkids still want to play scrabble with me when I am 91. And congratualtions to your grandmother.

At 55 I usually beat my children at scrabble, and I beat my grandchildren all the time if I really play seriously - sometimes I let them win (they are very young). Your grandmother probably has much more experience playing scrabble than you do, so you will need to really focus and practice to beat her. She will probably be pleased if you are able to beat her! So here are a few ideas that may help:

Learn the list of all the two letter words, so that you can take advantage of opportunities.

Try to always form more than one word at every turn. Look for those neat spaces where you can form two, three or more words by placing just a few letters.

Buy computer scrabble and play against the computer. This game will also help you take better advantage of playing all seven of your letters.

Invest in a scrabble dictionary and look for unusual words.

Read more, and note short but different words - start making lists.

Browse through a book store and see if you can find a book about scrabble. There are a few of them.

Set up a scrabble board at home and play both sides yourself. Use a scrabble dictionary to help you find the best word to play on every turn. It will improve your skills.

Do the crossword puzzles in newspapers. It will improve your vocabulary and you will learn many new and unusual words.

Continue to play scrabble with your grandmother. The best way to become better at any game that requires strategy and thinking is to play against people better than you.

Best of luck to you and your grandmother.

My suggestion is don't play scrabble with Grandma

well she does know more words soooooooooooo you need to be prepared and look at a dictionary for weird complicated 7 letter words or you can spell out dumb words like fart poop or burp good luck on beating her next time
