<p>In a game of Scrabble, the original word on the board was “AMEND”:</p>
<pre><code>AMEND

<p>I added an ‘S’ to the end to spell the word “SPA” vertically.</p>
<pre><code>AMENDS
     P
     A

<p>I thought it was a legal move, but it was contested by one of my opponents. Is this a legal move or not?</p>

I thought it was a legal move, but it was contested by one of my opponents. Is this a legal move or not?
