Overgeneralisation can also be a problem.


Indeed. It's illegal in Scrabble.

Well, it's too long for the Collins Scrabble Checker, which accepts
both overgeneralise and generalisation. I am not sure what to make of
the length limit. Does it imply a rule, or is it just the limits of
the checker? Not rejected anyway; just can't be entered.


If it's more than 15 letters it can't be entered on the board anyway.
Overgeneralisation is 18 letters. Unless you are playing Super Scrabble, I
have checked and it is invalid.
