My Two Cents
There aren’t many criteria listed in the Spelling Bee rules for accepting or rejecting words. That doesn’t mean the rules are straightforward. With most of them ––words must have at least 4 letters and contain the center letter, words cannot be proper nouns or hyphenated, and letters can be used more than once–– there is not much room for debate. But the two other rules are open to interpretation: no obscure words, and “no cussing”.
