Latin American Scrabble on the other hand doesn't include CH, but does include K and W. K and W are low scorers and I have to imagine they are only included because of so many English words have seeped into the Latin American Spanish language.Duwanhttp://www.makelikeanapeman.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1717926498377706091.post-88503765403028887842018-04-26T16:42:26.053-07:002018-04-26T16:42:26.053-07:00Glad someone else had to be creative when tackling...Glad someone else had to be creative when tackling a letter in the alphabet that presents a problem.

It does ...It's not a letter in their alphabet. It does look like a double V the way we print it, but when it is at the end of a word, it is actually a double U, taking the place of U in English word. Because true English words do not end in U, with the two exception of You and Thou, there has to be another letter to take the place of the U. For example, in the English word "crew", we can't spell it "creu", we use a W instead of a U to get that sound and still not end the word with U.<br /><br />The crazy things i learned in high school English!messymimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10649529601786689712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1717926498377706091.post-19117212112444839482018-04-26T04:27:06.124-07:002018-04-26T04:27:06.124-07:00No Spanish word that begins with W?
