   Is the record valid? The word "vrow" is ment to be Dutch. It nearly is. The correct spelling is "vrouw". And because it is used two times it is two times wrong. Besides the plural of "vrouw" isn't "vrows" but "vrouwen". So there are three missspellings.

   Vrow isn't a word.
   Awa isn't a word.
   Za isn't a word.
   Cor isn't a word.
   Rax isn't a word.
   Nam isn't a word.

   In scrabble, you can spell non-existent words and have them be valid plays, HOWEVER, the person you're playing against MUST challenge that word. If they challenge it and it actually is a word in the dictionary, the challenger LOSES there turn, thus they may not challenge a word that was played if they are not certain about it.

   Then I could go play a game of scrabble with a friend and we could beat the record by just throwing random letters down and not challenging each other.

   Moon: According to http://www.collins.co.uk/wordexchange, they are all valid scrabble words except for Za.

   I call BS, Guinness rules dictate that an official from Guinness must be present at attempts to break a Guinness World Record. There was none present. And if you bother to contact Guinness you will find that they have no record of this "record". Of course it is Slate, who needs facts when a deadline is due.

   ZA (pizza) got added to the official TWL98 Scrabble dictionary back in March as were FE, OI, KI and QI. Now even novice players can unload the Z and Q.

   An intentional invalid play is called a phoney. It's up to your opponent to catch the mistake. It's all part of the strategy.

    To the people who insist that they know every word in the English language, and are thus the leading authority on the subject, I urge you to rethink your status. There is a very strict guideline for a word to be a legal play in Scrabble, and each word on that board follows that guideline, and as such, is legal. There are many words in the TWL (the tournament word list, which is the official list of words valid in the game) which are not used as part of our daily language. This is due to the tendency for words to gain entry into our language much faster than they depart. Consequently, we have many words left over from yesteryear, which will eventually leave the leading English dictionaries, and, consequently, the TWL.
