I have always understood that the basic rule is to make a new word (or words) using a letter (or letters) that are already on the board. I recently played a game in which my opponent did the following:-
From the word cake[vertically] they added an "S" to make "cakes" and then used the"S" [horizontally] to make another word---eg.story. ---surely that is having two turns. Am i correct?

Perfectly OK.

Quote:
"New words may be formed by:

Adding one or more letters to a word or letters already on the board.

Placing a word at right angles to a word already on the board. The new word must use one of the letters already on the board or must add a letter to it.

Placing a complete word parallel to a word already played so that adjacent letters also form complete words".

Yes, it's fine and you score with both words.

ichkeria

The move you describe DOES use letters already on the board

I beg to differ ichkeria--the "S" was not already on the board!!!

But he had 'S T O R Y' on his rack with 'CAKE' on the board? Then he's laid one word, creating another at the same time - perfectly valid move.

elliemay1

Yes, valid.

Cake was already on the board. He then added story after the e at right angles to make two words, cakes and story. Sounds OK to me, although I am not a Scrabble player.

Prudie

That seems quite a basic acceptable scrabble move. The real experts, given the right circumstances, can add to 2 words at least and create a new one for 3 scores if the tiles fall right.
