Son challenged me to a puzzle

I don’t even know if this has an actual solution but this is the best I’ve managed.

Challenge (with every letter of the alphabet, once), use all the tiles making complete words.

Can obvs do scrabble style like this.

How’s everyone’s week so far?

I've found a solution but I'd probably argue that it's borderline illegal in a game of scrabble.

!Replace vid with quid, wax with vaw, replace monks with mosk and add jynx to copyrightable!<

Sorry if spoiler tags were wrong

EDIT: Apparently this solution is legal under SOWPODS!

I learned new words! Thanks ☺️

Nice one! I assume sowpods is Scrabble rules.

Yeah apparently it's the rules for tournament scrabble? Thanks for the puzzle! Ive been trying to solve it from scratch all day

Pleasure (it was my lad’s idea). I spent hours on it - it’s a good one. Wonder how many solutions there are now.

Must’ve been very satisfying to solve!

Potentially helpful: Qi is in the scrabble dictionary, though v and d then have to be dealt with.

Sometimes you can cure that with penicillin.

I think qat may also be an acceptable word

So you're saying it's a perfectly cromulent word?

It embiggens our vocabulary

I thought that was bananagrams for a sec

Edit: turns out yes it is

If you accept common parlance, you could swap out vid with quid, but then you lose out on J…

Why don’t your letters have score numbers?

They're not Scrabble tiles, they're from another game.

Bananagrams I believe

Oh I was right!

One of my favorite games to play with my friends. We each have a set so whichever house we visit we can play it.
