The rules of Scrabble have changed.

Previously you were not allowed proper nouns, apparently you now are.

However there is some contention as to what is a proper noun.

Can you use city names in scrabble?

No.'Proper nouns' - the names of people and places - are not permitted.AnswerWhile the answer above is correct, I think it is important to note that there are many "place names" that are accepted words in Scrabble and are included in the OSPD. PROPER names are generally not included in the OSPD (Official Scrabble Players Dictionary). HOWEVER, when a word we might usually recognize to be a "people name" or "place name" has another meaning, it may often be found in the OSPD and, therefore, is allowed.
