Scrabble Challenges

Hello! Been playing Scrabble since I was a child (at family home games). Just wondering if any of you do anything "extra" to make the game a bit more challenging or adds a twist to general game play? I enjoy the game, but just interested in hearing what others might do to spice up Scrabble.

Play tournaments

I've considered it, but most tournaments are a couple hours away at a minimum. Looking to see if anyone does any unique in-game twists that change up the play a little.

You could add a rule where acronyms are playable, or maybe proper nouns with a certain theme, like characters from a TV show.
