You can now use 'Geocache' in scrabble...

According to the official dictionary apparently...

Kind of impressed that it got up against all the, more mainstream, competition.

Yeah, good luck with getting that on a scrabble board.

GEOCACHE = 8 letters. You have 7 in your hand. So you need a perfect storm to get both the space and the one available letter on the board to make this 8 letter word. No idea of what the odds are of that happening.

Could be handy later in the game if the word CACHE has been placed I guess.

When our cat was spayed Mrs Yurt made a little sock filled with padding to put around the cat's neck to prevent her chewing out her stitches. We called the device a 'tnetennba'.
