    The scrabble players association is the decision maker. Personally, I hate that even these people are affected by those that are always offended by some thing.

    If it’s a legitimate word and it’s in their acceptable dictionary it should be accepted without prejudice.

    Niggardly is a word I believe Words With Friends refuses to accept.

    there are 236 words that are on their list. Do you think you might come up with words that might make the list??

    Unless they remove a word from the dictionary they can not remove a word.

    I will never be a slave to the overseers of political correctness. I shall shuffle over to my master bedroom and peruse the whitelist of approved words. I don't want to be blacklisted for using banned words. Also, I don't personally know Tom Lynch, but I think he should change his last name because of the implied association with systemic racism in the past.

      Surely only Sissies would be aware of that word?(I meant Aussies😂😂😂do you know autocorrect turns "Aussies" into "Sissies"....maybe another word that will be banned?)

    Sissies is a seldom used word. When I was a kid it referred to a male that acted kind of gay but back in the day being gay was something very very rare....or so we thought

    I suddenly have an urge to play Scrabble just to use "naughty" words. The world is losing it's collective mind.

    It only affects official tournaments.

    The rest of us that play for fun will do whatever we want, of course.

    Min ...

    Reminds me of that old song that we sang as kids ... "It's always fun when grandpa comes (cums?) when grandpa comes we're gay ...."

    Things take on a different meaning today.
