MODERATORS
They're both words but it's irrelevant because "sa" is not a word, so this could never happen in a real game.
"Sa" is an Egyptian hieroglyph meaning "protection", an Arabic measure of volume, a type of Mandaean sacramental bread that is rolled up, and a character in the Javanese script.
You could argue that it's a descriptive of the Javanese character. But someone would come back with that being a proper noun for the character, and that would force a table vote. Which descriptive would win because the other players would see the obvious chance for a double-triple.
This scrabble-scribble has got layers.
Cool! It's not a valid Scrabble word unfortunately, but I'll try to remember that next time I'm in Mandaea.
Also, I might not be any fun to play Scrabble with. lol
Maybe Adam Tots is Mandaean.
Strange how Ra is allowed in scrabble but not Sa
Ra is not allowed in Scrabble, according to multiple online Scrabble dictionaries I just checked.
You are correct. It's been a long time since my last game.
If you were a player with known good two-letter word knowledge, playing someone without, you might try it as a bluff knowing you may go unchallenged
True, but you could never get away with it on Words with Friends.
"as" is a word, though
Standard scrabble ruls require words be valid when read left to right or top to bottom.
