    I play Scrabble all the time. I guess they are getting rid of any racist type words. Damn, I wonder if I can still use blackface. 😐

    I saw that.

    I just hope they don't ban wetback since you can use all seven tiles.

    How could they possibly "ban" words in Scrabble? You spell whatever you spell!

    (I know that it's their "official word list" that is having "offensive language" removed, but when you play it with friends or family you can agree to any acceptable or unacceptable words you want!)

    @jp1692 ...

    That does present a conundrum. A word I remember back in my biology class, serosas (an embryo covering) could be rearranged to be "sore ass".

    It's not easy to ban the arrangement of letters.
