        newsflash: this isn’t an actual game of Scrabble, it’s a cartoon

          This line of conversation was discussing it as though it was an actual game. Maybe I misunderstood the point you were trying to make in regards to “ra”, and, “ist”, in which case my b. To my knowledge there’s no rule stopping one from laying letters down however they want in one line so long as it forms a word at the end of them doing so. One could put down “t”, then “s”, then, “i”, or alternate “r”, then “t”, etc. as they’re laying down their word.

          Not sure what in my comment made you think I wasn’t discussing rules and actual gameplay but if you could elaborate on that for my own future reference, I’d appreciate it.

            words can be made without playing the game, maybe it’s just someone playing around with the letters trying to make valid words without actually playing the game, and so they were forming two words at once

                I never switched. I always said that if the board was completed, all words would be correct. I never made the assumption that this was an actual game. I always assumed it was someone in the process of setting up the board to create a sentence and have all parts be valid words. No one is creating sentences in an actual game so even pretending that this would be the case is just silly. Thanks for coming to my ted talk.
