Welcome to the Raleigh-Durham Scrabble Club website! We meet on the 1st and 3rd Saturdays of the month at Pure Soul to play Scrabble. Admission is free, although we ask that you patronize the venue. Pure Soul has won Yelp's 2023 Best Restaurant of the Carolinas, and is #8 on Yelp's Top 100 Vegan Restaurants in the US!

Live in Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill, or any of the surrounding areas in North Carolina? Love word games? Do you have what it takes to play like a tournament player? Learn about Scrabble from experts and seasoned tournament players on a level that you've never experienced before! No experience necessary; we'll help you uncover all the tools you need to elevate your game!

Games at this club will be one-on-one, with clocks and scoresheets (provided). Players are expected to know the basic rules of Scrabble before attending. The lexicon is NWL23. Cheat sheets will be provided to new players, and we'll be happy to guide you through the first few sessions to help you progress through your Scrabble journey.
