I just tried to check out some words on the Scrabble site ( http://www. hasbroscrabble.com ) that AnnaS provided us with a while back, but, guess what? I couldn't enter any word longer that eight letters! The search engine, function, whatever you call it, only let me enter "cabbagewo" for cabbageworm, and then informed me "cabbagewo" was not a word, which I knew, for crying out loud.

So, what gives? Is there a way to bypass the 9-letter limit--or do the makers of Scrabble think 9 letters should be the maximum number of letters displayed in the game? Don't think so unless that's a rule I've forgotten--and here I've been dreaming of sesquepedalian words to put on that board for years.

Thanks for whatever insight, suggestions, and direction you may provide,
