Racial slurs could be banned as playable moves in official Scrabble competitions amid anti-racism protests by the Black Lives Matter movement.

Offensive terms including the 'n-word', insults against the elderly, such as 'wrinklies', and derogatory phrases used to attack the LGBT community can still be used to score points in the popular game, which sees opponents place letter tiles onto the board in order to spell out words.

But following worldwide anti-racism protests in the wake of the death of American George Floyd, officials who govern Scrabble tournaments in Britain are reportedly discussing whether to ban offensive terms from their competitions.
