My only Scrabble-related memory as a kid was playing the word “rape” because I’d seen it online but didn’t know what it meant. Things got a bit awkward.
Unrelated but, in Pokemon Scarlet/Violet the second gym leader is named after brassica and rapeseed in particular. I always thought the name origin was weird. I would’ve gone with a cabbage related name. Especially cause he looks like a cabbage more than a rapeseed plant.

A room full of adults yelling over each other for twenty minutes as they argue whether “Qatar” is a valid Scrabble word.
It’s not. It’s a proper noun. Names aren’t valid.
Get an official Scrabble dictionary, ffs, people. There are rules for this.
That seems like it’s taking half the fun out of the game
Fighting over what words count?
And convincing others Lletya is a real word
They have to Lletya use it
don’t buy an extra dictionary, just pick any random dictionary you already have (or a dictionary website) and agree to it.

I can’t disagree, but I suppose he surrounds himself with olive and sunflower Pokemon enough to basically be an oil connoisseur.
