Questionable Grabble Words* 10-19-2015 - _A note from { Player#670 }_ This questionable word list is checked as time allows. Some words take longer to research, and discuss, than others. Such is the case with the English Language! As noted below, /we cannot guarantee a timely response to such a request, nor will the game play be paused while we consider the request; in other words you must still make your move before the time runs out/. _*Writing to { Player#39813 } to pressure the "Word Smith Team" will NOT make this process faster, nor will we respond to any such messages.*_
