SCRABBLE® Dictionary: The official SCRABBLE® solver – all playable words 2 – 9 letters in length Paperback – 5 Sept. 2019

Very comprehensive dictionary.

very useful for all word games

Bought this to replace a tatty 2nd hand copy of Scrabble Words from 20-odd years ago. I am shocked by how many words have been censored out - would love to give egs but I guess they would be moderated out of this review too ;-) Scrabble Words has handy quick-ref lists of all the 2-letter and 3-letter words at the back of the book (worth memorizing if you want to play like a pro!), whereas here they are integrated into the alphabetized sections. The print size is a bit small for my elderly parents, and the paper is thin and grey, tbh the whole thing feels a bit cheap and I doubt it will last 20 years. On the plus side, it is really great to have definitions included, so I would still recommend the dictionary over the word list for casual games.

I find this clear and concise dictionary very useful when playing scrabble, and good value too.

Brilliant book. Wish it had been hardback aswe use it regularly

My Mum, many moons ago, spent a lot of time with me teaching me how to spell - she taught me a lot more than just spelling too - so when I started school and the other kids were just learning, I would sit there knowing I could already spell words harder than the simple ones they could - not so good in one way though as I got bored quite quickly.Fast forward a few decades and we got the scrabble out one evening - it's now become a weekly thing - however, where my Mum is a lot older than she once was, her memory isn't quite so good as it used to be, and as such she struggles a little more with spelling. She also wasn't that good with some of the 2 letter words you can use, so I bought this for her, to give her a little helping hand when she couldn't quite remember how to spell something (I should have bought a dictionary!!).Worst thing I could have done; she not only beats me again (something she'd not done for many years) she now literally wipes the floor with me.Buy it for yourself, but definitely do not gift it to someone you play against, and if you do, don't say I haven't warned you!

Just what is needed when playing scrabble.

Wow.

This is for International players really, but I often play with full US/UK English so it's a must. US players must note it includes a lot of words (epithets of an unsavory nature and foul language) that are banned for US players but allowed elsewhere.But it's a great book if you're looking for your first Scrabble dictionary.

We are having a great time with words we did not even know existed. The print is clear and the paper is of a good enough quality, very easy to flip through. There are even descriptions which are great when it comes to the more bizarre words.

The dictionary has a very fine print...poor printing quality too.

A big help!

I belong to a "Super Scrabble" group and find that this is the most comprehensive word list for Scrabblers. It contains both British and United States language, and as we are Canadians, this is great for us as we use words from both "English" speaking nations. The one complaint I have is that the print is small (I will soon have to use a magnifying glass) to keep the soft-cover format smaller and easy to carry around to games.
