The Official SCRABBLE Players Dictionary

Can't play scrabble without an official Scrabble word list / dictionary. Very useful for learning and making sure nobody's playing phony words.

Great book to have on you when you play scrabble with someone who likes to make up their own words during the game lololol

MY HUSBAND AND I REALLY ENJOY PLAYING SCRABBLE BUT WERE OFTEN UNCERTAIN ABOUT CERTAN WORDS FELL WITHIN SCRABBLE RULES. SINCE WE'VE GOTTEN THE DICTIONARY THERE'S NO GUESSING INVOLVED!

Excellent for game of Scrabble

Generally very helpful, as stated in the headline. I have the Kindle-format book on my PC and love the ability to simply type a word word into the Kindle-app search box, verify the word's usability in Scrabble and some Scrabble-like games*, and find the word's meaning. I deduct a star because I too frequently must check TWO definitions, This dictionary too often excludes the definition and makes me separately look up the definition of an alternately-spelled word with the same meaning. (I guess this policy saves printing costs in the bound-paper version but seems less excusable for the electronic version.) Moreover, the definitions are typically 'bare-bones' — though perhaps I cannot expect more in this kind of dictionary. Similarly spelled words accompany the definitions, presumably to help Scrabble players best select word that fit letters in their trays. However, I refuse to use such 'helps' and would prefer that the publishers substitute better definitions. ___________________ * For example, this dictionary finds MOST of the words allowable in the Spell It game app.

I grew up playing Scrabble and Upwords with my great aunts, and this was the Holy Grail - always out on the table during games and consulted often when I would try and get a word by them. If the word you played wasn't in the Scrabble dictionary, by heavens, it didn't count and no amount of arguing would help you. As I pass my love of playing board games onto my kids, I've noticed that I, too, insist upon deference to the Scrabble dictionary. My kids want to play words that I would argue are slang or abbreviations (E.g., "LOL, BTW, hot mess). This updated Scrabble dictionary takes the large generation gap into account and is updated to includes many of today's words, most of which I don't know (seriously, what is listicle??). I purchased the hard cover version based on the other reviews here, and thankfully, we did not have the printing errors that others mentioned. Another unintended benefit of using the Scrabble dictionary is having my kids look up the word in dispute - to this generation of 8 year olds - an actual dictionary is as arcane as a phone book, both of which caused great excitement when they showed up at the house. I look forward to this updated Holy Grail to be the final arbiter of our family Banagram and Scrabble disputes - in fact, I have already consulted it and told my daughters that "LOL" isn't a recognized "word" in the Scrabble dictionary, and therefore, doesn't count, ending such squabbles with a parental equivalent of a mic drop (also not a recognized word).

This book can make playing Scrabble more fun & competitive. Challenges can be quicker for the seasoned players. It can be a great learning tool for young families. It can help young players find words & word possibilities. It can teach meaning and usage over and beyond the spelling. Learning to keep score is fun when learning helps make for higher scores. Make bigger words. Learn the proper plural forms of words. All this helps young learners (and old ones too!) use the board to the fullest. Have fun winning and learning. A great book for Crossword puzzle enthusiast.

This book was life-changing for us. I know it's modern times and all and we have smart phones and apps and the internet, but during a game of Scrabble using the phone because hugely annoying for everyone, dealing with the phone PIN, searching websites, dealing with internet outages, etc. We all use it as it's so easy to just look things up in the book in seconds. Makes the game go much faster too. I have great eyesight and don't use eyeglasses to read, except in bad light I have to use a magnifying glass because the print is so small.

Very helpful to have while playing scrabble. Now we have one each so we’re not passing one book back and forth.😁 We’re surprised at words that are in the book that we never thought of before. Fun game.

Fast delivery, excellent asset to the game

I love scrabble and not owning a proper scrabble dictionary was a major handicap. This dictionary is easy to use and has improved my enjoyment of the game enormously. Plus, learning new words is an added bonus.

Great for ending arguments while mid game!! Thanks seller!
