You’re playing Scrabble or some other competitive word game. There’s no money on the line but you have a friendly competitive rivalry with your opponent. The agreed upon dictionary is SOWPODS, which still has ethnic slurs as valid words.

The bag is empty, your tiles are REGGINS and this is the end of the game as your opponent will be able to play his last tile if you let him. The only way you can win is to play N___RS, as there is no other hook to fit all 7 tiles on the board’s layout and any other play will leave you with a too low score.

  • Play the word and win the game.
  • Play a different word and lose.
