Preface

   This report documents a course research project (E&CE 499) focusing on
   the computer play of Scrabble®. The project was done over the
   Jan.-April 1998 time frame as part of my senior year in the
   [1]University of Waterloo [2]Computer Engineering undergraduate
   program.
   
   I would like to thank Professor [3]James A. Field for supervising the
   project, and Professor [4]Bruno R. Preiss for serving as co-reader.
   Special thanks to [5]Vincent Wong for extensive play-testing help.
   
   Dedicated to the group of Scrabble®-playing friends who inspired me to
   try this. You know who you are: this one's for you guys.
