ESSENTIAL for the regular player

Customer Rating:

Most things have been covered in other reviews here, but I ought to add that if like me, your Scrabble games are punctuated with 'debates' (ok - arguments) about the validity of words, this will change your Scrabble-playing life! There are older editions available too, under the name OSW (Official Scrabble Words), which can sometimes be a cheaper option, but with this book selling at a reduced price like it is now, seize the moment and buy one - you won't regret it!

Just as described	Customer Rating:
This book seems to be exactly as described, and is perfect for UK Scrabble words. Bear in mind that this is not a comprehensive dictionary in so far as only words upto nine letters are included, and the descriptions are short. However it is great for Scrabble, and crucially includes all variations of a word such as plural, different tense etc. Fully worth the money!

has all those unusual words you only use in Scrabble

Customer Rating:

For years I would judge a dictionary on it's quality by whether it had the words qat, zex, and jow in it, which of course none of them do, unless you pay an arm and a leg and get a dictionary that weighs an absolute tonne! Then I discovered this handy little volume which has all those strange scrabble words, a brief description (usually one word description), and my search was over. This dictionary is marvelous. Definately a must for anyone wanting to improve their game, or to silence those challenges over dubious looking words.

Recommended for even casual players of all word games

Customer Rating:

This book is brilliant for all families that enjoy casual word games. It is comprehensive and authoritative, so it contains all the words that should be allowed in a word game, but aren't in grandma's 1963 edition of the Concise Oxford dictionary that you keep next to Delia on the bookshelf. Due to it's very brief format and small print, it's small and light. You can take it on holiday with you. Because it's a dictionary with definitions rather than just a word-list, you can learn what the words mean, which is a great aid to learning. It can be used for all word games such as Boggle, Upwords etc. not just Scrabble. Highly recommended
