T4: Rise of the Scrabble Cheaters

It's hard enough to play word games against a computer that has entire dictionaries at its disposal -- now they're playing dirty pool. Or in this case, dirty Scrabble.

What's next? C3PO cheats some poor kid playing Candyland? Cylons stack the Uno decks with "Draw Four" cards? When will the madness end?
