Can you spell words backwards in Scrabble?

Question

My brother swears you can, where I swear you can’t. Anyone know for sure?If your not quite sure what I’m talking about, there’s a little example here: http://s40.photobucket.com/albums/e226/x_xnevermor…

Hoyle’s rules would say that is bad form. Strictly speaking it is breaking the rules. BUT if all players agree on allowing that BEFORE the game begins then have fun with it and you do it too.I had a group of friends I played Scrabble with and we would always agree on some quirky twist before the came began: Contractions, Urban slang, Phonetic spelling, etc. It adds a fresh angle to the game.

Nope, you cannot. See the official Scrabble rules at Scrabulous – http://www.scrabulous.com/scrabble_rules.phpAlthough you can play that word in Clabbers, which is a variation of Scrabble. That’s also there at Scrbaulous, check it out at http://www.scrabulous.com/clabbers.php

No – see rule 1 at: http://www.hasbro.com/scrabble/home.cfm?page=rules…It says "to read either across or down" This is not entirely clear, but it is clarified by the examples at:http://www.hasbro.com/scrabble/home.cfm?page=rules…
