Use the p then

  • trump - A suit in card games that outranks all other suits for the duration of a hand.

  • pi - A transcendental number, approximately 3.14159, represented by the symbol π, that expresses the ratio of the circumference to the diameter of a circle and appears as a constant in many mathematical expressions

  • is - The third person singular of the substantive verb be, in the indicative mood, present tense

  • sap - The watery fluid that circulates through a plant, carrying food and other substances to the various tissues

  • Rapist - One who commits the crime of rape (e.g. Donald Trump)


Edit - even with the c

  • Sac - A pouch or pouchlike structure in an organism, sometimes filled with fluid.

  • A person who believes a particular race is superior to others (e.g. Donald Trump)

For a person to be in the position depicted the word would have had to be "sa" which I don't believe is a word. But you can play words that aren't words in Scrabble as long as no one challenges you. But it's also an incredibly bad choice of a word, setting up an opponent for a triple like that.

"_M" is the only one that's bad as far as I can tell.

"AS" bottom-up is probably fine? I don't know the rules. The words it could turn into by adding "racist" or "rapist" would be valid words, "sac" and "sap".

_M has a tile above it, meaning this can be anything. There are plenty of words that end in _m.

Scam, scum, slum, plum, trim, tram,

The only bad one is SA

bitwaba 15 points 2 years ago

Yes, however neither of those words are complete on the board yet. That's fine if one of them were in the process of being played, but they're not. Rapist/racist is in the middle of being played, meaning that the previous turn ended with just "sa" on the board, which is not a valid word.

Assuming rapist/racist is the current turn, then the player who placed sa on the previous turn played an invalid word. It’s possible if the other players didn’t challenge. Sap and sac are both valid words.

You are only allowed to play one direction per turn in Scrabble. It must read left-right or top-down.

"ra" and "ist" are part of the word in process, just being done out of order for creative flair, as you noted. "Sa" on the other hand, is its own thing and isn't a word. Doesn't mean it couldn't be there though as it would have to be challenged to be removed.

That said if I had a 6 letter word with that bonus I wouldn't challenge homey on like 2 points. I'm dumb, but I'm not stupid.

You could argue that it's a descriptive of the Javanese character. But someone would come back with that being a proper noun for the character, and that would force a table vote. Which descriptive would win because the other players would see the obvious chance for a double-triple.

This scrabble-scribble has got layers.

He is correct about both things. Trump hates black people, so you are a traitor to your race if you vote for him, and the black community's culture is based on American culture while Latino culture is based on the cultures of countries across the Americas and the Caribbean.

I mean the second one is just objectively true, the black community tends to vote as a bloc while latine communities can vary in a variety of ways because they're basically as diverse as the rest of the US as a whole is. Even from within the same country of origin there can be significant splits in opinion, northern and southern mexicans pretty frequently vote for different parties, because northern mexicans tend to be from longer established communities and families while southern mexicans tend to be much more recent newcomers.

Meanwhile the split in the black community is mostly just some dudes who got sucked into the manosphere and literally everyone else facepalming at their bullshit.
