Would you not play a word in Scrabble to spare someone's feelings?

Asked by elbanditoroso (33153points) August 1st, 2021

This morning – had a 7-letter word on a triple word block. It would have given me something like 83 points.

The word was S-U-I-C-I-D-E—the D was a blank.

Here’s the issue – there was recently a suicide in this person’s extended family, and she still is affected by that event – shocked, a little depressed, and definitely not over it.

Knowing that history, would you have played the word? Knowing that it could have triggered unpleasant memories?
