Quite simply, grog is nothing more than watered down rum or whiskey. It began with an English admiral who ordered his men to do so and they nicknamed it after his cloak, a grogram. Sometimes you might see it spelled grogg.Les

Colonial Drinks and Recipes The following concoctions were discovered in the old files of the Gaspee Days Committee, and were apparently used by some Pawtuxet Village restaurants during Gaspee Days c1966-1972. Some selections were found in old hand-written cookbooks that had been families for over 200 years. BEVERAGES Cocktails have been traced back to before the Revolution. And since many of those Rhode Island Colonists that burnt the Gaspee in 1772 were involved in rum and gin distilling and smuggling, we can assume they were also very familiar with some of the following drinks. The usual drinks were punches, cobblers, toddies, slings, bounces, juleps, snagarees, and flip The common ingredients were gin, brandy, Medford (dark) rum, port wine (sack), bourbon, rye, and bitters. Cobblers are of American origin and are great favorites in all warm climates. Hot drinks included hot buttered rum, Tom & Jerry, hot brandy sling with nutmeg, and the Mulls including mulled cider, and hot applejack.

Depending on the position of the board and the tiles presented on your rack, any word can be a good word. Example: HI is a simple and common two letter word, put when placed on a triple letter score and forming a second word in the opposite direction, you score a minimum of 26 points, which is rather decent in a SCRABBLE game. Of course, bingos don't hurt either, but to say that any ONE word in the dictionary is a good word would be remiss.
Try learning some word list like all the 2 letter words and 3 letter words. It's a good start.
