Scrabble: Rules on adding RE to a verb? I turned "radioed" into "reradioed". When can you add RE to vrb

Answer 1

There is a specific Scrabble dictionary and it doesn't include all the words that are in a, for example, Oxford English Dictionary. But, generally, you add "re" to almost any verb. The catch is that sometimes you use it with a hyphen and sometimes you don't. In  Scrabble, hyphens aren't acceptable, so re-radioed is not a word.

Answer 2

not a word.  best thing to do is get a scrabble dictionary.

or check the word in their site:

Answer 3

I don't think it is considered a word, though I don't have my Scrabble dictionary with me tonight.  There are no hard and fast rules about adding "re" to a verb.  As a previous poster suggested, you might want to consult a scrabble dictionary on this one.  I was able to find one site that discusses the linguistics of adding re to verbs, but no definitive answer.

Answer 4

you can add it anytime it makes a legitimate word

Answer 5

Unless it is already in the dictionary, when you add "re" to a verb it must include a hyphen. Re-radioed is not a legal play in Scrabble.

Answer 6

Check your dictionary.  You can Redial your phone to Return your item for a Refund.  It is very Refreshing to get an answer with at least three Re words in the answer.  I don't mean to be reRundant and I am not Retarded but you can also Reword your answers.

Best regards to you.

Answer 7

That's perfectly LEGAL  !
