Someone call the Scrabble police and ask them "Is it ok or is it not ok to play ok?"

|  | That's the way uh huh uh huh I like it.. | | Join Date: Sep 2006 Location: Robbinsville, NJ | | | My wife and I play that all the time. She's always playing the freakiest words then when I try to play something normal "saudi", or "darwin" for example I get hosed
But malthumb - "ok" being unacceptable? yeah that's a classic!

Example: "aight" and "iight" are allowed, while "OK" and "tombo" (a kind of tuna) are not. There are literally hundreds of cases though, mostly of words that can barely by a long stretch of the imagination be considered "words at all", never mind "words in English". |

|  | As a matter of fact, I DO have a warning label. | | Join Date: Jan 2010 Location: Near Orlando FL | | | Maybe it's only OK to play OK when you spell it okay? OK?

EDIT: But "teak" is...I just saw the "e".

But in the end, it's only a game. |
