They made it much easier I think - allowing proper nouns.
Bloody rubbish.

I'm not great at it.
My godmother was the UK champion in the early 80s.

Except they didn't...
They didn't change the rules to Scrabble at all. It was just a marketing thing for a new version called 'Scrabble Trickster' which came out last year. You buy the real version of Scrabble or play tournament or online and try to play a proper noun it won't count.

Another stunning win for marketing and PR over the journalistic values of every news outlet that reported it.
