Scrabble Dictionary

If you’re playing the 1991 edition or the 1978 original, you’re way behind the times for Scrabble-playing. With a library of more than 100,000 two to eight-letter words, they have given validation to some interesting words not formerly allowed. While this was going on, the words they deemed distasteful or no longer acceptable have been removed. Why subscribe to the Scrabble dictionary’s unpredictable dictionary? Well, it stops the quarrel of which lexicon to use, and the primary reason is that it’s the victor’s dictionary, and why play Scrabble if not to be the victor? Commit to memory those two and three lettered words, and your Scrabble game develops into a lethal weapon.

The Official Scrabble Players Dictionary, 3rd edition (OSPD3) is more for assistance in finding the list of words that are suitable for Scrabble than for use as a dictionary. The word list is modernized from the second edition to the third and the third omits offensive words. This makes this edition safe to use with the kids. If you have no problem with distasteful words being eliminated from your cache of words you use for Scrabble, then this is the edition for you.

For those who want a Scrabble dictionary that is appropriate for school or families with kids, you should get the Scrabble Dictionary OSPD3. This dictionary has the definitions. The official word lists can be found in a collegiate dictionary or a word list that is posted online.

Scrabble has a long history in the dining rooms of many families around the world. Scrabble is often where kids learn to spell words they normally do not come across in everyday language. The expansion of vocabulary is made fun for the kids and they begin the journey into the world of literature through the words they become familiar with as they play the game. These different editions allow the players of all ages and of tastes to experience the game at the level they are comfortable with.

In true review of these lexicons, each has their purpose and they are useful for their purpose. Using a lexicon that is previously agreed upon for experienced players is also okay, but in the end the original editions are often the best. When the game of Scrabble is taken to an international competition level it becomes a different story all together. Just as an informal game of chess would be played with less stringent rules than a true competition, there need to be rules and lexicons in place that everyone agrees upon to base the rules and guidelines in place for there to be a fair competition. The home game should be informal enough to encourage individuals to seek out a wide variety of sources for their word lists and give kids the freedom to explore different words, meanings, and applications of the basis for language. If you like playing games online you need to check out Scrabble Blast.

Purchase the software or go online for the free stuff, but when competing at home or online, be sure that everyone is on the same “page” with the Scrabble dictionary that will be used or the word lists. Let’s be fair. After all, there is no true competition if the playing ground is not even. Scrabble is one of the greatest games ever invented, and it is encouraging to see that there are people who are trying to improve the game and make it more competitive.
