A word that has omitted letters replaced with an apostrophe is called a contraction.

We have = we've

you will = you'll

should have = should've

could not = coundn't

Why does contractionhave an apostrophe?

The apostrophe indicates where letters have been removed from the original words to make the contraction. So, if you change "do not" into "don't", you have removed the O between the n and the T, so you put the apostrophe in to indicate the missing letter. You only put one apostrophe even if more than one letter has been removed.

Are contractions allowed in scrabble?

No. (Words such as cant or wont are separate words from their apostrophe forms.) Types of words which cannot be used are abbreviations, prefixes and suffixes. Words that require a hyphen or an apostrophe cannot be played. Words that are only spelled with a capital letter (proper names) cannot be used.
