Question

is there a penalty to making a word in scrabble thats already on the board??

Answer 1

Of course you can!

Answer 2

Yeah! You can write whatever little word your little heart desires! There is no penalty. So you go girl/guy!

Answer 3

You certainly can.  You can play a word as many times times as letter distribution allows.

The only penalty in Scrabble is losing your turn for being on the wrong end of a challenge.  (And a time  penalty for going overtime in tournament style play play.)

Answer 4

You can do that.  The same word can be on the board any number of times and there is no penalty for it.

Answer 5

yeah
