Questionable Grabble Words

-------- WARNING: Only the Grabble Crew may remove words. --------

Anyone found deliberately removing other members' words from the Questionable Grabble Words list may lose their wiki editing abilities.

Please post your Questionable English Grabble Words here for the Grabble Crew to look up.

• If the system rejects a word which you feel is a valid word, you may request that we add that word to our dictionary, but we cannot guarantee a timely response to such a request, nor will the game play be paused while we consider the request; in other words you must still make your move before the time runs out.
  • To request that we add a word to our dictionary, please provide us with a reference to that word in an existing, reputable, internet-accessible dictionary.
  • Please also let us know words that should be removed.
• Please do not post any more 2 letter words. All allowable ones have been checked and no more will be added for a while. A list of all allowable ones that can be played, found here... Grabble FAQ... scroll to the bottom.

We are using the following printed dictionaries:

• (US) The American Heritage 4th edition
  • American Heritage: http://education.yahoo.com/reference/dictionary/
• (UK) The Chambers Dictionary 9th Edition
  • Chambers: http://www.chambersharrap.co.uk/
• Both may be searched online though the online versions contain fewer words.

What kinds of words are not valid?

• Grabble does not allow abbreviations, short forms, acronyms, slang, non english words, proper nouns, infractions, interjections, prefixes or suffixes unless it forms a word in its own right, variant spellings, alternative spellings, obscure/obsolete words, or words not found in a modern dictionary.
• Any word that is not allowed on the discussion boards will not be allowed in Grabble either so please, do not even ask.
