Latin version of Scrabble and "two char letters"
by Arana
(Mexicali, Mexico)
Here in Mexico we have lots of words that use double "r", also words that use "ch" as if they were single letters.
The thing is that our scrabble includes only one "RR" and only one "CH". Does this mean that we cannot use words like "CARRO: (meaning car) if we already used the "RR" tile in another word (not connected to CARRO)? Or can we use the single "R" tiles to make those kind of words?
Here are some words so can see what I mean:
CARRO (car)
PERRO (dog)
ZORRO (fox)
CHAPULIN (grasshopper)
PECHO (chest)
TACHA (flaw, defect, cross mark)
There would be a lot of unusable valid words if we were only to use the single included "CH" and "RR" tiles, so my supposition is that we can use two tiles for this cases, but I want to be sure.
Hi Arana - I don't know the answer to your interesting question, but I'm publishing it in the hope that one of our readers can answer it for you. So stay tuned for the comments below this post. If there are no responses over the next week or so I'll investigate further
