There are non-English speakers who do very well in the English Scrabble championships as well. It seems obvious when you think about it: the skills necessary to memorize word spellings and place them on a grid are completely different from the skills necessary to speak a language. I have heard that people who have a good understanding of computer programming languages and linguistics do better at scrabble regardless of their native language.
