For example the word "fadeing" was placed on the board, the spelling was NOT challenged, and play continued. A player then added "un" to the beginning of the word, which was subsequently challenged and found to be incorrect due to the "e" in the initial word placed on the board.
The person placing the "un" believes since nobody challenged the spelling of "fadeing", that unfadeing should be allowed to score.
This situation has come up a few times, so we would appreciate hearing from anyone who has a definitive answer.
It might save my marriage too!
