When playing ABSURD Scrabble phonies goes wrong...

[@AlexDings]

How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood? But more importantly, how much lour would a lourerer lourer if a lourerer was allowed to lourer lour?

I love when you really try to find sense in words like LOURERER, genuinely good comedy. Love the annotation there too.

[@Cloiss_]

a LOURERER is someone who regularly eats VOUCINNINI

[@Renbeaudach]

If anyone ever attempts to produce and sell pasta shapes cut in the shape of scrabble tiles... well now the name for them is obvious 😄

[@mackmeller]

omg I totally forgot about VOUCINNINI! That's at the top of the next video

[@usernameusername4037]

I'm really surprised that BRACK isn't a NWL word; it has definitions in most dictionaries.

[@axcertypo]

JEWELsS* reminds me of the time SAFETIE(DiLATIVE)* was played, since the I was a potentially missable blank tile.

[@lucas29476]

when did this happen?

[@axcertypo]

@@lucas29476 in 2018 I believe

[@mackmeller]

Yeah, I looked for SAFETIE(DiLATIVE)* but doesn't look like it was posted, which is a real travesty

[@jacksonsmylie279]

back in 2010 I played JOE(YENS) thinking I was playing JOEY, not even a blank involved

[@psymar]

The silliest thing about LOURERER is you could at least play RELOURER with some degree of plausibility!

[@AlexDings]

JEWELSS is valid in the GOLLUM21 lexicon

[@TheRandom_Channel_idk]

Any BFDI fans here noticing BFDI Ruby?

[@WithoutThe_GoodOne]

Yes

[@copper2763]

Here

[@IndefiniteSpiral]

yes

[@BrettMKW]

I wonder if anyone has actually played a phony that was just nonsensical in every way and not an accidental mistake like JEWELsS. At least things like CLIFTWAY are phonetically sound, but I once saw someone who obviously was upset about their rack play (A)QIIIIAA.

[@mackmeller]

I believe Matt Canik played GRRRVVY* or something similar once as a joke

[@meta04]

I wonder if there's any actual tournament examples of things like that staying on the board. Probably only things like that one player who opened with BNJy\* and accidentally gave back ABOITEAU...

[@BrettMKW]

@@meta04 Not sure, it would be unlikely enough to play an outright nonsensical phony like that and even more unlikely that it stays on the board because it gives back a bingo. Jackson Smylie did play OUTWIN* which Josh Sokol immediately knew wasn't good but it gave back (T)APADERA for Josh so he let it go.

[@matthewoconnor3362]

Kenji attempted QEUW once

[@ValkyRiver]

⁠@@mackmeller Oh GRRRVVY! Let’s dance! 🕺💃 (Wait… I meant “groovy”)

[@Firefly256]

LOITERER is the only thing that even remotely resembles LOURERER*, even then the 2 words don’t look alike at all

[@glowstonelovepad9294]

DISECTED* might have been spelled with only one S because it was confused with BISECTED which only has one S.

[@Pablo360able]

Or because he didn't have a second S, seeing as his rack only had seven tiles.

[@Ari_AnnaS]

PEOPLE WHO CAME BECAUSE OF THE THUMBNAIL RUBY V

Hey guys, Ruby BFDI here, why am I in a random video's thumbnail?

[@TheRandom_Channel_idk]

Youre note ruby, you're Lollipop and Leafy! also i like scrabble

[@WithoutThe_GoodOne]

@@TheRandom_Channel_idk Umm the Green thing is Gelatin, also, this is Ruby commenting this, not me!

[@copper2763]

Poopy Mayonnaise (The thumbnail had BFDI Ruby)

[@alexlatham6836]

Did Joel Wapnick ever get away with MOXBIB or the bingo MOXBIBS in a Scrabble game?

[@mackmeller]

Sounds somewhat familiar, but I don't know specifically... if anyone has it though would love to add that to a future video!

[@psymar]

I'm surprised BRACK is illegal given BRACKISH is, I believe, a real word!

[@GreaterJan]

Just play 9s or longer -- truly unchallengable!

[@jellomochas]

challenge (unchallengable*)

[@SuperBox_Ray]

ununchallengeable

[@asdfasdf4924]

I loved LOURERER lol

[@Firefly256]

BFDI Ruby

[@CheeseTube777Archive]

Yeah I noticed that too

[@WithoutThe_GoodOne]

Yes

[@Forensource]

What sort of ethical example for young persons considering Scrabble are these folks sending? Deception and outright perfidy, outright perfidy! Reject poltroonery!
