Challenging a Word
Before the game begins, players should agree on which
dictionary they
will use, in case of a challenge. All words
labeled
as a part of speech (including those listed of foreign
origin,and as archaic, obsolete, colloquial,slang,etc.) are
permitted with the exceptionof the following: words always
capitalized,abbreviations,prefixes and suffixesstanding
alone, words requiring a hyphen or an apostrophe.
Any play may be challenged before the next player starts a
turn. If the play challengedis unacceptable, thechallkfged '
player takes back hidher dice and losesthat turn. If the piay
challenged is acceptable,thechallengerloseshisfher next
turn. All words (notjust one)
made in one play are challenged
simultaneously. If any word is unacceptable, the entireplay is
unacceptable. Only one
turn is lost on any challenge. Consult
the dictionary for challenges only.
Here's where things get "SCRAMBLED"
Once the word is formed and the score calculated,the player
REMOVES the letters that were present at the start of hislher
turn, minus any letter that was used to form the new word,
and returnsthem to the dicecup. Therefore,thereis never
more than one word on the board at the startof a turn.

If a player extendsthe currentword and doesnot form a

the arm. T+ next player would then start hisher word in the
