SCRABBLE® Dictionary: The official SCRABBLE® solver – all playable words 2 – 9 letters in length

An amazing dictionary. Contain many words unknown by many. Scrabble players good tool

After many a heated argument over whether or not a word was allowed in our games I decided to purchase this scrabble dictionary. For £8.99 it is excellent value. It is clear and concise, very comprehensive and even has definitions alongside the words. For me personally I would have preferred it if it had a separate index for 2 and 3 letter words just for speed of looking up. The only slight downside to this edition is that the print is slightly on the small side and would imagine that someone with impaired sight may struggle. Overall would highly recommend.

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.

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!

This pocket sized book has won me many online games. Filled with lists, tips and tricks, it sits next to my laptop just in case. But you know what, it has taught me a great many words I have never heard of. If you enjoy words in general, grab this little book.

Remember those Scrabble games when you play a word and your opponent(s) start to tell you in no uncertain terms - "That ain't a Word" Well here's when you can say "Well it's in the Scrabble dictionary, so there!!!" Very useful What a great Christmas present this would make for the "Scrabbler" in your life

brilliant would buy again if losted

Contains all the information a Scrabble fiend needs. Words with succinct descriptions, well laid out.

My 15-year-old grandson has started playing Scrabble with me so I had to replace my old dictionary. He beat me the other day Apparently "prob" is now a word.

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.

A big help!

Good clear and concise dictionary

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.
