Having some fun: Britney Spears, 39, joked Tuesday on Instagram that 'sometimes it's fun to make' words up while playing a game of Scrabble
Britney shared a snap of her slightly jumped Scrabble board, though she didn't specify who she was competing against.
She was playing a loose match that let her spell words backwards, which usually violates the rules of the game.
Can you find a word that isn’t actually a word????' she captioned her photo. 'Sometimes it’s fun to make ones up!!!!'
Sure enough, Britney had several nonsense words on her board, including 'ABIRV' and 'SODELN.'

Although Britney sounded like she was having a great time at home, her post arrives amid the ongoing controversy from the New York Times Presents documentary Framing Britney Spears.
The documentary examines much of the Toxic singer's life in the spotlight, from her early days as a child performer to her current semi-retired status.
Some viewers of the documentary were furious after being reminded of how Britney was presented in the public eye.
Diane Sawyer was lambasted for a 2003 interview she conducted in which she seemed to blame the singer for her breakup with Justin Timberlake and alluded to rumors that she had cheated on the NYSNC member
''You broke his heart. You did something that caused him so much pain, so much suffering. What did you do?' the legendary journalist asked in the clip.

Ongoing: Framing Britney Spears particularly focuses on her conservatorship under her father Jamie Spears, which was put into place in 2008 following a widely publicized public breakdown; Jamie seen in 2008
Other clips featured in the film showed Britney being asked invasive questions about her breasts and her virginity as well.
Framing Britney Spears particularly focuses on her conservatorship, which was put into place in 2008 following a widely publicized public breakdown.
The arrangement gave her father Jamie Spears nearly total control over her finances, though some interview subjects suggested he and his associates may have conflicts of interest.
Critical voices: Some critics, including Jeffrey Bloomer of Slate, have criticized the documentary for its breathless coverage of conspiracy theorists in the #FreeBritney movement; seen in 2019 in Hollywood
Framing Britney Spears features extensive interviews with the hosts of the Britney's Gram podcast and covers the #FreeBritney movement, which seeks to free her from her conservatorship.
However, Jeffrey Bloomer of Slate, criticized The New York Times documentary for seemingly taking the claims and motivations of the #FreeBritney movement at face value, even though many of its participants believe in the conspiracy theory that the songstress has been sending coded messages through her sometimes bizarre Instagram posts.
He claimed that documentary provided adequate scrutiny of the actions and motivations of Jamie and those involved in Britney's conservatorship, but not those helping to get her personal and legal struggles on front pages again.
The film was also criticized for not featuring interviews or statements from Britney or her estate, and it's not even clear if she got the message that the filmmakers wanted to speak with her.
