For example - the letter is H and the category is Something Sticky? And your opponent answers Honey on a Hot womans Hands and takes 3 points for it... I said no but he won't budge and I think its BS. We had a bet on the game so that makes me even more bitter.... LOL Please help!!!

For the category cities *Letter A* he put Anchorage, Alaska and took 2 pts for it even though I challenged him then too and told him that its only asking for a city and to stop cheating! LOL I need leverage this time to back me up!

According to the rules your opponent can only get 1 point for the word "honey" which is acceptable. The other 2 words are irrelevant so no points for those. The same goes for "Anchorage, Alaska" because only the name of the city is called for. The exception to this rule is in the categories that ask for a person's name. If the first & last name of the person starts with the same letter the player gets 2 points.

no points for him!! honey is answer enough and if someone else had honey too then he only gets 1 point - the whole thing that is sticky is honey the hot woman's hands have nothing to do with it especially since hot is an adjective. if he had said "hand covered in honey" thats a different argument but since its been played up by descriptions and specifications or whatever

There's no way he should get 3 points for that. Honey would be correct, but hot is not a subject, it's an adjective. And since there's no such thing as honeyed hands lol he's out of luck.

LOL, my boyfriend does the same thing when we all play with our friends. The guys call it "dirty Scattergories." Technically, you don't get the points for this--I don't think adjectives count when you're describing things. Let him have the answer--but you can play the same way. It gets you to be a bit creative!

No, he doesn't get points for that...nice try though. If you don't accept it, he's gotta give it up.
