Gonna try

[@dovlandzbaum5036]

Can you add an H and an S to airline in one move to make hairlines? Is that allowed, and if not, why not?

[@qfox16789]

I think you can, it’s all in one line of movement

[@dovlandzbaum5036]

@Jacob Peters Pardon me, but I don't think you know how to play Scrabble. You can create a new word by adding letters.

[@erikeisner8282]

Children simmer down. You’re allowed to play your tiles in one direction. It’s up to you if you want to put the H in front airline and then the S at the end, but it's usually a waste of a play.The only exception is if you’re trying to cover a double or triple word score

[@anushkas6093]

Is there any way to win at chess???

[@erikeisner8282]

Probably the best bet is to read a chess for dummies book or something.

Win the BBC way. Lie and cheat and pretend whatever you say happened, happened.
