Since it does not seem too likely that Bart would ever willingly play Scrabble, that one does not surprise me. ;-)

He's played it before, though perhaps not since episode 2, nearly 21 years ago. Google "kwyjibo."

I cannot believe you do not remember "kwyjibo".

According to http://www.snpp.com/episodes/7G02.html, the final word on all things kwyjibo:

   Bart:  Here we go.  Kwyjibo.   [places his tiles] K-W-Y-J-I-B-O.
          Twenty-two points, plus triple-word-score, plus fifty points
          for using all my letters.  Game's over.  I'm outta here.

   Homer: [grabs Bart with his left hand, holding a banana in his
right]
          Wait a minute, you little cheater!
          You're not going anywhere until you tell me what a kwyjibo
is.
   Bart:  Kwyjibo.  Uh... a big, dumb, balding North American ape.
With no chin.
   Marge: And a short temper.
   Homer: I'll show you a big, dumb, balding ape! [leaps for Bart]
   Bart:  [making his escape]  Uh oh.  Kwyjibo on the loose!

Do not, I repeat, DO NOT say that you do not get the "kwyjibo" reference. That is Xino Kiner's job.
