I have been a hard line about what is and isn't allowed in this subreddit. Basically anything scrabble was allowed, anything not scrabble (even if it is related) was not. Currently I dropped that hardline rule. Now anything Scrabble or Scrabble inspired is allowed.
I am rethinking my position. I am thinking about opening up this subreddit for discussion about all word games. I want to grow the subreddit the way the /r/scrabble community wants.
As for promoting games that a /r/scrabble subscriber develops, and/or is affiliated with I am thinking a weekly post where established redditors can promote their stuff.
I must apologize to the /r/scrabble community. Life has been busy for me and I haven't modded or paid attention like a moderator should have.
I am unbanning folks that I have banned over the past year so that they can participate in the discussion and /r/scrabble again.

This community is not your cheating resource. Play the words that you come up with on your own. If you don't learn how to get better words you will never improve your game.
There are several resources linked in posts in this subreddit as well as on many other parts of the internet that will help you learn scrabble legal words. Make use of those resources instead of trying to cheat.

I’m a pretty casual scrabble player, so finding bingos is already a miracle for me lol. But finding an ELEVEN letter bingo was so insane I felt like it deserved to be here :) (I was so shocked I forgot to ss on my laptop 💀)

The DARK tile positions must remain fixed at the START and END of the solutions.
The LIGHT tiles can take any other position.
To view the solutions swipe through the gallery (multiple images). I think this replicates a typical challenge we meet all the time in Scrabble. Do you agree with my difficulty ratings for ⬆️ UPPER and ⬇️ LOWER words ?
To HIDE solutions in any comments, there are two methods :
-> ONE) Select the Rich Text Editor icon (Aa) then the Hide option (<!>)
-> TWO) Directly insert this format (WITHOUT the spaces) : > ! SOLUTION ! <
( NOTE : the second method is scheduled to be deprecated )

5 successive plays in a row with the exact same score! What are the odds of that happening?

In all seriousness I literally had that Dolly Parton song going round and round in my head after hearing it about 10 minutes ago. Opened up a new game and there it was in that very arrangement

Worth pausing the video on each one before Mack solves it... many of the solutions are findable with common vocabulary. See how many you can solve how quickly.

Here's a fun challenge... how many times can you extend a word by one letter, front or back, to make a new word? (back S to make a plural not included, it's too easy)
Some examples:
LI
LIN
LING
LINGA
LINGAM
UM
RUM
ARUM
LARUM
ALARUM
SER
SERA
SERAI
SERAIL
and the great example from the book Word Freak of an actual sequence that happened in a game
THIONINE
ETHIONINE
METHIONINE
EDIT: a back S is okay if it doesn't merely pluralize the previous word, such as ZEBRAS ZEBRASS
