What is the longest word you can use in the game of Scrabble?

Answer 1

The longest possible word you can spell in scrabble is 15 letters. The word would have to be a compound word that it is made up of at least one 8 letter word. Then you would have to add a seven letter word to it.

Answer 2

The longest technically legal Scrabble word in North American play is ethyl­enediamine­tetra­acetates (28 letters). It is the plural of a word found in Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, 10th edition, which was the dictionary of reference in North American Scrabble play for base words of at least 10 letters, and their inflections of at least 10 letters, until June 16, 2003. Naturally, this 15-letter plus word is 'legal' in name only, since it can never be used in a game for the very simple reason that it would not fit on the board. There are many 15-letter words; the highest-scoring word on a Scrabble board is either benzoxycamphors (45) or sesquioxidizing (42). Because sesquioxidizing has the high-scoring Q and Z as its fourth and twelfth letters, it would score 62 × 27 = 1674 if played across an edge of the board with three triple word squares and two double letter squares involved, provided those squares were not already played on; benzoxycamphors would score only 59 × 27 = 1593. Sesquioxidizing is not found in Webster's dictionary, although the roots of the word, sesquioxide and oxidizing, are.

Answer 3

no limit. It all depends on you pieces, whats on the board, the position, etc. I've had words 8 or longer some games, then maxed on 5 others (and they were plurals). It just all depends. No real Magic word of formula to get big words.

Answer 4
