      My question is this. I have a scrabble dictionary site and I list a ton of words on the page. I removed then as links just in case Google might be thinking i am spamming, but could there be a difference in listing words like

      this

      word1, word2, word3, word4, word5

      and instead like this

      word1

      word2

      word3

      word4

      word5

      could the first way trigger Google that I am spamming?

        Cesar,

        I do not believe the way you list will matter in terms of the way the bot reads the page. Assuming all are in the body, the bot goes left to right and top to bottom. So, unless there is a specific trigger that says terms with links separated by a comma are a negative, I do not see a problem. I assume your links are internal or if not are going to something explaining the term.

        But, as a dictionary site, I would be driven by what works for the reader.

        So, with Scrabble players looking for words with a Q, a Z, a J, an X and three A's, how would they find it? (Please hurry as I need to make a play!) 😉

        Hope this helps a bit.
