Amazon.com
If you're using the 1991 edition or the 1978 original, you're woefully behind the Scrabble-playing times. With more than 100,000 2- to 8-letter words, there are some interesting additions ("aargh," "aarrgh," and "aarrghh" are all legitimate now), while words they consider offensive are no longer kosher. Why subscribe to the Scrabble dictionary's changeable lexicon? Well, it ends the argument of whose dictionary to use, but the main reason is that it's the winner's dictionary, and why play Scrabble if not to win? Memorize those 2- and 3-letter words, and your Scrabble game becomes lethal.
Synopsis

I realize my title is of vague, if not poor in meaning. My thoughts of this dictionary are like that.
I love Scrabble. With an English degree, a bookwormish lifestyle and a highly verbal family, I arrogantly call it a challenge to be taken down by another player. The Scrabble dictionary is part of my confidence.
This dictionary standarizes the game. What other dictionaries lack is consistency and clarity. What counts as a foreign word? This dictionary creates a boundary otherwise unavailable for word usage.
If I played Scrabble in a league, I might be pickier about the words made available. But I like to play Scrabble the most with my aunt and Grandma out on a porch at a cottage on a lake, or at a coffeehouse with an editor friend of mine, highly caffeinated... enjoying family or friendship more than the game. Therefore, the Official Scrabble Dictionary is plenty for me.
Tidy little definitions are provided. "Hemagog" is defined as "an agent that promoters blood flow." Lets me know I can put an "S" on the end to pluralize it, that 'hemagog' is a noun. I am happy with that, yet fully aware a hematologist could tell me a hundred more things.
Profanity unfortunately is in there. All our favorite four-letter words seem to have made the cut. Yes, even THAT one. But the fact of the matter is what makes for common conversation is not always appropriate family discussion. A "legal" word in this book makes the game awkward when players with young children. I'm not saying don't buy the book. I am saying that you should be aware.
I recommend this book with the caveat that if you want to know everything about a word, buy the Oxford English Dictionary. If you want to play a relaxed game of Scrabble... buy this book.

It may seem like a normal dictionary at first, but The Official Scrabble Players Dictionary is very different. It contains words that you won't find in many other dictionaries (like 'qaid, sheqalim, and many others) and are all acceptable in Scrabble. If you have a word that's a real word and isn't in any other dictionary, it might be in this. This book has really helped my Scrabble playing.

Disputes will easily be settled with this wonderful book, and there are no offensive terms in this version (although I wonder why they took out words like "fatso" and "redneck").

Censored and misguided
This is a seriously misguided edition. Words which appeared in the First and Second editions but are now considered "likely to offend" have been eliminated. Lesen Sie weiter...
