Scrabble facts, pt. 1
There 272,013 words in my SOWPODS list, a list for international Scrabble tournaments (that is also used for the Facebook program where I do my boggling). All, but 4,262 are fifteen letters or less—the maximum length to fit on a Scrabble board—but not all of the rest can conceivably be played in a game of Scrabble. 18 of them, for instance cannot be formed because, even with the blank tiles, there won’t be enough of a certain letter. Here they are:
- bezzazz
- bezzazzes
- classlessnesses
- knickknack
- knickknacks
- pazzazz
- pazzazzes
- pizzazz
- pizzazzes
- pizzazzy
- possessednesses
- razzamatazz
- razzamatazzes
- razzmatazz
- razzmatazzes
- senselessnesses
- stresslessness
- successlessness
