The Rules

Links to news stories from...
...credible sources, with...
...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

How do you remove slurs from a boardgame where you pick and place letters?

There is an official Scrabble dictionary

Would only really be relevant for tournaments, except the organizing bodies of which aren't affiliated with Hasbro and have their own sets of words and drama over them. People playing casually can just have house rules about whether slurs are or aren't accepted and what counts as one.

Tournaments and also digital versions of the game. I think Scrabble might be popular on Facebook?
