Ree is fever-free and feeling better so she went to ballet with TubaDad, and Ro and I are playing Scrabble. But we’re stuck and need help! According to our kid rules (which are detailed here), we pool our leftover letters at the end to play every single letter, and we can’t do it this time. Can anyone see where where we could play that dang V? It drives Ro crazy when she has just one letter left over. (Ok, it drives me nuts too.) We looked and looked, then she scrunched up her nose and finally said “That’s it mama, we’re going to have to call the people on the blog.”
So don’t let her down, blog people, where can that V go?
PS: The blank tile at the top is an “M”, “SOX” is Ro’s phonetic spelling of “socks,” and the blank tile near the bottom left is a “G.” Oh, and I didn’t mean to double post, but Ro was emphatic that I ask for help. So there’s a new post just below this one called “Princesses, They’re Just Like Us.”

do you count TV??? because you could add the V to the T in tough.
ReplyDeleteHey Emy, Ro looked it up in her official Scrabble dictionary and TV wasn't in there, so she said "Naybe...." (one of the few words they still misprounounce and I love it!). Is there anything else we could try?
ReplyDeleteFun!

How about between the nor and hen? Norvhen is a first name- try googling it.
ReplyDeletei see "UV" using the U on "tough" but if TV didn't make the cut, then i'm not sure UV will either :)
ReplyDeleteHow about adding the V after LO and making it into the phonetic spelling of "LOV" (Love). I know - it's not correct spelling, but at least it's a happy word!!
ReplyDeleteMy daughter says "Naybe" too.... : )
Add it to the R from nor in the top left corner to make RV. I love that she has such a passion for scrabble!
ReplyDeletePut it after the A in whale. You would have AV and EVO (the phone by sprint). Good luck!
ReplyDeleteVi did not come up wrong on Spell check..
ReplyDeleteYour scrabbble games look like a lot of fun:)
If you are willing to juggle letters, you can change jee to vee which is a legal word then change bail to jail then use the e in fine to make the word be.

Do I get chocolate? lol

What about IV? the I in "said".
ReplyDeleteHow about between the E and the R for: EVR as in "ever"?

If you're okay with switching letters (and I always am when I play with kids because of the enrichment aspect to spelling), exchange the F from Fine with the V making it Vine and then add the F beneath the I in Said to make IF.
ReplyDeleteNV (phonetic for envy)off of FINE.
ReplyDeletewhat about left of the W in Whale for VW, as in the car. :-)
ReplyDeleteSOX is in the official Scrabble dictionary. :-)
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, the official scrabble dictionary does not recognize any 2-letter words that include the letter V (I'm a pathetic Scrabble geek) - (although I personally think TV should be added, but so far it is not) - and sadly I don't see anywhere to play it unless you switch out some other letters as suggested above.
The O on Nor becomes the O of OF...phonetic for of
ReplyDeleteOv, I mean..
ReplyDeleteI say play it up word style and stack on on the B to make Bail Vail
ReplyDeleteNo help here, sorry, but I see my son Gene's name in there! Cool! lol. I vote for TV .
ReplyDeleteIt looks to me like you're stuck without getting a little lax or creative with the rules. Besides what's already been suggested "Whov" at the bottom, not quite the contraction "who have"
ReplyDeleteLOL....when all else fails, ask the bloggers:) I say TV counts..... if google is now a word in the dictionary, then I think TV should be too!!
ReplyDeleteHope you are enjoying your weekend~
xoxo,

In Scrabble "luv" is acceptable and then you could move the "o" to the word "to"
ReplyDeleteHow about using the I in lid to make IV and vertically you'd have VA (for Virginia?
ReplyDeleteKaren
I would go for IV with the i in said. IV is in Webster's and is not listed as an abbreviation but as an accepted noun.
ReplyDeleteAnd Webster's can't be wrong!
Maggie
on the left....VAN! :) that has got to be in her dictionary!
ReplyDeleteDuh! I was wondering why no one suggested "Van"! Now I realize I was playing Upwords - a different take on Scrabble! Oh well....I'm sure all the other suggestions made more sense than mine!
ReplyDeleteOk, I don't play scrabble so I could be totally off the mark but could you put a "v" above the "o" in "who" at the bottom left. Falls to the right of a blank. VO is in dictionary.com as
ReplyDeleteVO
— abbreviation for
1. very old: used to imply that a brandy or whisky is old; now often extended to port and other dessert wines
2. Royal Victorian Order
That is so great they play scrabble. I was wondering about the V by an I for IV. I like the TV though.
ReplyDeleteI think it is cute how she thought of us.
Take the F off the word FINE and change it to a V for the word VINE.
ReplyDeleteTake the F and attach it to the O in the word NOR to make the word OF.
