Good, maybe “Jew” will finally work in Microsoft Scrabble.

(Muslim works, but Jew does not. Maybe I am paranoid.)

I play “Jew” all the time in Scrabble on Facebook and it takes it.

Actually, in the OWL (”Official Word List,” USA’s standard), “Jew” is there — maybe in OSW (Britain’s list) too. It is a verb so “Jews” and “Jewed” are good too.

It is not in SOPD (”Scrabble Official Players’ Dictionary”)
because the verb is considered offensive.
