UGH, I never URD of that WUD

I've been busy revamping my blogging software, so I've been a little out of touch with my Scrabble.

But on my kitchen cupboard I taped a list of three letter words that contain a U . My hope is to absorb them in small but frequent doses. The phrase "UGH, I never URD of that WUD" helps me remember three of these words, words that I have hardly used before.

I singled out the U words because, quite frankly, out of all the vowels, I despise the Us the most (unless I have the Q, of course). A lot of these short words could make good letter dumps. I can't tell you how many times I've played VUG or GUV (V is my least favorite letter of all).

And if you got VUG down, then learn VUGG, VUGH, and VUGS along with VUGGS, VUGHS and VUGGY.
