6. Informal Angry; offended.

Answer 7

According to MW online it is a word. Not one I would use as it sounds rather hillbilly, but it is a word.

Answer 8

Sorer is listed as an adjective so no, it would not be allowed in scrabble.

Answer 9

So long as the dictionary all the players are using includes that spelling of that adjective.

I cite the following:

'Acceptable words;

Acceptable words are those words found as primary entries in some chosen dictionary, and all of their inflected forms. Words that are hyphenated, capitalized (such as proper nouns), marked as foreign, or appear only as part of multi-word phrases (such as "brac" from "bric-à-brac") are not allowed, unless they also appear as acceptable entries: "Jack" is a proper noun, but the word JACK is acceptable because it has other usages (automotive, vexillological, etc.) that are acceptable. Acronyms or abbreviations, other than those that have been regularized (such as AWOL, RADAR, and SCUBA), are not allowed. Variant spellings, slang or offensive terms, archaic or obsolete terms, and specialized jargon words are allowed if they meet all other criteria for acceptability."

I rest my case.

Answer 10

It is a valid word so therefore yes

Answer 11

If you are more likely to say 'sorer' in a conversation than 'more sore', then yes.

Answer 12

Yes - sore - sorer - sorest

Answer 13

Officially no

Answer 14
