3 unusual facts about Joe Edley


Joe Edley

Joseph Edley (born 1947) is a professional Scrabble player and author, and the first player to win the National Scrabble Championship three times.

Having taken the job of a night security guard for the free time it afforded, Edley systematically memorized the first edition of the Official Scrabble Players Dictionary, a feat that only a small minority of top players have accomplished.

In 1969 he moved to San Francisco, California, where he claims to have been influenced by the works of Jane Roberts.
