ig v. Alternative form of igg (“to ignore”). At least to https://en.wikwik.org/ig - but only a comment since I cant tell you if it was valid at one point

Thanks. That jogged my memory. It's "igg" not "ig." It entered the OSPD same time as "za" which caused me to recall them as both 2-letter words (as well as  both questionable IMHO).

Was "ig" ever in the OSPD?

I used to play in Scrabble tournaments about 30 years ago, but I still kept up with developments in tournament Scrabble until about 10 years ago through friends who still competed who are no longer available to answer this question.

I seem to recall that "ig" meaning "ignore" entered the OSPD at the same time as "za" meaning "pizza" but not only is "ig" not in the current OSPD or NWL, I can find no mention online of its ever having been there.

Did I dream this?

IG was not included in the [Changes in OSPD4](https://scrabbleplayers.org/w/OSPD4#New_Two-Letter_Word_Definitions_in_OSPD4), which included the addition of ZA. That version introduced five two-letter-words: FE, KI, OI, QI, and ZA.

That version did, however, also introduce the three-letter word IGG:

> IGG, IGGS, IGGED, IGGING  
> v to ignore
