Q but no u
This article says that Q is considered the most problematic letter in Scrabble because almost all words containing a Q contain a U, but it does not say that there are letters in the English language that contain a Q but no U, such as Qadi or Qat. Vorbee (talk) 19:49, 29 April 2018 (UTC)
Vexillogical pretension
In the "acceptable words" section, why employ a rarely used, uncommon 14-letter word, when the well-known 4-letter word "flag" would have sufficed? This is a Wikipedia article, not a competitive Scrabble match. :)
I find also in this section the phrase: "Vulgar and offensive words are generally excluded from the OSPD4 but allowed in club and tournament play", but I can find nowhere prior to this point in the article where the initialism "OSPD4" has been either explained or defined.
In the "Game Details" section, I question this phrase: "S is one of the most valuable tiles in English-language Scrabble because it can be appended to many words to pluralize them". In fact, in terms of value (previously described in the section) S is one of the least valuable tiles, being worth only a single point. The most valuable tiles are the Q and the Z, each worth ten points. The S is, however, one of the most versatile tiles in the English-language game, for the reasons given. Versatility and value are not necessarily synonymous. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.89.176.249 (talk • contribs) May 6, 2019 (UTC)
broken ref
The link to the msoworld website does not go to the article originally cited. It just goes to the MSO world registration page http://www.msoworld.com/mindzine/news/proprietary/scrabble/features/history.html Slimy asparagus (talk) 19:31, 12 July 2021 (UTC)
'Premium square colors' chart should be moved
In my opinion, the 'Preium square colors' chart should be moved to a different space within the article as the text within the article is being misaligned due to the chart's current position, making the article look unprofessional. Xboxsponge15 (talk) 14:05, 20 March 2020 (UTC)
