“My wife tried to beat me at Scrabble, but I wooden letter”

The word game of Scrabble has tiles of single letters. The pun “wooden letter” (“wouldn’t let her”) is sometimes made.

Wikipedia: Scrabble
Scrabble is a word game in which two to four players score points by placing tiles, each bearing a single letter, onto a game board divided into a 15×15 grid of squares. The tiles must form words that, in crossword fashion, read left to right in rows or downward in columns and are included in a standard dictionary or lexicon.
