Scrabble.. how do you play yours?

[sara3]

I always thought you weren't allowed to put an S on the end of a previous word to pluralise it. I know if the new word contains an S it's okay to pluralise the other word, but just an S? all by itself??

I was challenged on this today, and self-righteously thought I was correct.. but it doesn't say you can't in the rules.

I hate being wrong! someone tell me I'm right please, preferably with some evidence. I thank you :o)

If you hate being wrong then you are on the wrong site here

[sara3]

hey, that doesn't mean I'm never wrong... as my question would clearly indicate!

[knobynonuts]

Yes

[sara3]

very constructive, thank you.

Yes, it's OK to add an S all by itself to pluralise it as far as I know. That is how we have always played it in the last 40 years or so with various other scrabble players accepting it as well. Haven't checked the rules though.

Sorry :o(

I play that you can do that and play just the S as your turn. I also will add the S on the existing word and then build from that too. I believe it is legal to play just the S as your turn. )Provided its on an existing word.)

sorry, but for some reason I can't view any responses here. not sure why, hopefully it will recover. I'll check back later, and thanks to all who had something constructive to say!

Scrabble is my favourite board game I have always used S to pluralise you can use the S to pluralise a word and start another.
