Question: Colorado is one of three U.S. states that doubles as a playable Scrabble word. What are the other two?

Answer: Texas and Alaska, along with Colorado, are the only U.S. states whose full names are legal to play in Scrabble. According to the official game dictionary, “texas” can refer to “the uppermost structure on a steamboat;” an “alaska” is a “heavy fabric;” and “colorado,” an adjective used of cigars, means “of medium strength or color.”
