At this year's World Scrabble Championships a competitor demanded his opponent be strip-searched after the disappearance of a letter 'G'. Furious Chollapat Itthi-Aree, from Thailand, demanded officials take Ed Martin, an IT consultant from London, to the toilet and search him believing he had the missing tile about his person.
But judges at the tournament in Warsaw, Poland, disagreed with Mr Itthi-Aree, a 24-year-old maths teacher. They refused to carry out the search. They added another 'G' to the letters to create a complete set, enabling Mr Martin, 35, to go on to win the game by a single point.
