Became the Spanish master of the word game – could not speak Spanish
Nigel Richards, 57, recently became the Spanish Scrabble champion. It was possibly surprising because he is from New Zealand and does not speak Spanish. But the victory was still no sensation, reports The Guardian.
Nigel Richards has previously won the French championships without knowing French.
– He learned the dictionary in nine weeks, a friend told local media.
Richards also has several World Cup titles in English and is described by The Guardian as a Tiger Woods in Scrabble.
In Sweden, the game was previously known as Alfapet. For younger readers, it can best be described as an IRL version of Wordfeud.

Sweden’s national security advisor Henrik Landerholm has forgotten his gadgets on various occasions, reports Today’s News.
At the end of 2022, during the ongoing NATO process, he forgot his phone at the Hungarian embassy. It remained there overnight before he got it back.
In January 2023, he also forgot a black notebook in Radiohuset after participating in SR’s Saturday interview.
