Kata-Kata Bahasa Indonesia yang Acceptable dalam Scrabble

sumber

Kita tahu kalau kata-kata bahasa Inggris yang digunakan dalam Scrabble banyak sekali yang merupakan kata serapan dari bahasa lain. Bahkan kita cenderung lebih sering memasang kata-kata serapan daripada kata-kata bahasa Inggris yang umumnya digunakan sehari-hari seperti man, woman, tree, car, house, father, mother dll. 

Ternyata eh ternyata, bahasa Indonesia pun menjadi salah satu bahasa yang sebagian kata-katanya diserap dan dinyatakan acceptable oleh kamus CSW. Bertepatan dengan HUT Republik Indonesia yang ke-66, saya akan memaparkan kata-kata bahasa Indonesia apa sajakah yang acceptable dalam Scrabble. Walaupun dari sumber yang saya dapatkan bahasa tersebut ber ‘merk’ Malay, tapi sangat banyak kesamaan lah dengan bahasa Indonesia, lagian memang satu rumpun juga kan kita.

Keterangan: jika terdapat dua buah kata dalam satu poin,  misal dibawah ada ALANG dan LALANG,  artinya kedua kata tersebut adalah variasi penulisan dari  kata tersebut, keduanya juga acceptable.
