Are there any scrabble apps/games etc that don't allow silly words.

Options
Sorry if in the wrong place. But would like to play scrabble on my tablet, but i have no chance of winning as it seems they have silly words like EE, KA, Ki for example that are allowed.
Can anyone link me to somewhere that will allow me to play without these.....even if I still don't stand a chance :)
Never put off until tomorrow what you can avoid doing altogether.:D

    Some of those are perfectly acceptable scrabble words, best thing to do is learn the 2 & 3 letter words and beat the game at its own, er....game!

    Not sure you are going to find the game you are looking for given some of the words you talk about are legitimate dictionary words. Why would they not be allowed? Learn some of them, is amazing how handy and highly scoring they are.

    I play word chums on my Android device and if you click on a word it will give you the definition. As said my marcam, learn the words and use them. Just because it sounds like a silly word doesn't mean it doesn't exist.


    However a while back one of my friend played the word cleeked for a massive 168 points, (which is possible in word chums), and when I clicked on it I was informed that although this is a word regularly played in word games, (really?), they had no idea what it meant so there is still a small element of foolishness in there. All good fun though. Just waiting for the chance to use the word myself.
