On Saturday, October 18, 2025, at Yaoundé, the 7th edition of the Anglophone Cameroon Scrabble Cup, a competition open to all English-language Scrabble players. However, many beginners are still hesitant to take part in championships.
This year, the championship recorded 16 registrations, but only 10 players ultimately participated. They came from Bamenda, Bafoussam, Douala, and Yaoundé.
The 10 participants were divided into two pools. Each player faced all four opponents in their pool. After four rounds, the top two from each pool advanced to the semi-finals and then the final.
