236! Wow, they have a strong imagination.
Is there a list of the forbidden words? Or are they so forbidden that there is not even a list?

I enjoy playing Scrabble and it has never occurred to me to use a slur or racist terminology.

I know, I put the asterisks because the thought police are monitoring everything these days.

There was a classic Far Side cartoon of the bearded psychiatrist sitting and listening to a patient blabbing away.
On his note pad he had written:
Just
Plain
Nuts.
That’s what America sounds like now. Banning Scrabble words?

There are still “correct” and “incorrect” ways to spell words? I thought that was racist.

Dirty words are ok but you have to do a shot of tequila. I think our dirty word collection just got bigger. Better go buy more limes...
You just gave me a great idea! How about playing Scrabble with ONLY the forbidden words?

I never used the scrabble dictionary anyway. my preferred is Webster 2nd International, the last one before very utterance that that can be identified as having been used by two or more inebreants is listed as a legitimate word.
