FORMERLY - Questions and Answers (FAQ)

"FORMERLY"

Formerly is an adverb that is used to indicate that something was true or done in the past but is no longer the case. It is derived from the word "former," which means previous or past. In the game of Scrabble, "formerly" is a great word to have in your repertoire due to its length (8 letters) and the fact that it contains valuable letters such as "F", "M", "E", "R", "L", and "Y". These letters can help you score high points, especially if placed strategically on bonus squares. When playing "formerly" in Scrabble, you can look to extend it by adding prefixes or suffixes to create new words and maximize your score. For example, you can add a prefix like "re-" or a suffix like "-ies" to form "formerly" into "reformerly" or "formerlyies".
