oh cruel zynga, why do you mock me?

I’m having trouble understanding why an educated man of my age can excel so easily at a game like words with friends, but be such a disaster at scramble.

It is fascinating to me the number of words that can exist amongst twelve random letters. I think its the math that I can’t deal with. That and the timer. 

There is no timer in WWF. I have all the time I need to strategically place any words I may have formed on the board to beat my opponent. In SWF, I just freeze up I don’t see the order, I am ashamed.

A man stumped by jumbles.
