People just assume you're talking about the latest version. Comments Have your say about what you just read! Since you'll have to agree on which Scrabble words are valid before starting a game, you should familiarize yourself with the official Scrabble word list you're most likely to be offered. Anyway, there might be reasons to use TWL and I hope someone who knows comes along this article. You can tell that serious Scrabble people like word games can't you?

NASPA Word List
What is the 'Official' Scrabble Word List? For international Scrabble tournaments, there needed to be a meeting of minds, as despite their differences, English speaking players from different countries wanted to be able to compete against each other on a level playing board. Doing this I have often made obscure words that have improved my scores. This page was last edited on 17 Julyat Unlike CSW, TWL needs to be supplemented with another official list for adjudicating words of letters in length.
It also includes longer words if they are inflections of words having 8 letters or fewer. The latest version of this dictionary is called OSPD4. It was edited by the Dictionary Committee under the chairmanship of John Chew. It is richer and more flexible. The first edition of OTCWL was the official word reference for words of up to nine letters and their inflections from —03—01 to —02— The more words, the merrier, for him!
Worse still, the built-in dictionaries are often riddled with errors! To answer the inevitable question - Sowpods is not a valid word in Scrabble in any version, sorry about that, so erase it from your tile rack. The two list is mostly real words in use today the sowpods is a ridiculous compilation of obscure words which are not used by English speaking people. The differences between American and Commonwealth spelling is an advantage when remembering the alternate word spellings.
Contains word or letter Begins with word or letter Ends with word or letter Crosses word or letter. This made its way onto many keen Scrabble players' Christmas lists and hopefully settled Scrabble based family arguments over the following years.

Just enter your name and email below to get started! OK so for the less wordy of us, what on Earth are we talking about? I would really appreciate his comment.
You actually can choose which one to use as well as whether you opt for a Standard Board or Random Board. Anyway, there might be reasons to use TWL and I hope someone who knows comes along this article. However, again as a US citizen, the Commonwealth spellings can become annoying. Confusingly, the longer name has also been abbreviated to OWL in some places the popular Scrabble helper Zyzzyva uses this acronym, for example.
Official Tournament and Club Word List
This might seem clear cut but there were still possible queries: I find that many of these words are from Scotland or India. Hi Siobhan, we are constantly trying to update our Scrabble Helper word lists to enable you and others to check for existing and learn new words.
The longest valid word that you can make from SOWPODS is Swoops, which sadly does not score anywhere near as well, lacking as it does the 50 bonus points from playing a 7-letter word.
Leave me a tl in the box below. We are planing to add some more articles about word lists and maybe this can raise the awareness of others and lead back to this poll.
You may be scratching your head trying to work out the meaning of this strange words which looks like it would scrabbld pretty well if you played it in the gamefret not - SOWPODS is not a real word but instead an anagram of two acronyms!
Unfortunately, the number of words which have entered common English usage since version scrable was published in is huge and, of course, none of them are in that book. The Americans though have their own unique spelling quirks, meaning that they could not use the same dictionary. CSW is often described as British, for historical reasons, but should really be thought of as the official International Scrabble Dictionary.
Ductionary my favorite Scrabble game twp when I play with my sister, and we are free to make up new words, so long as our definition is dcrabble to the other player. A few tweaks were made to improve the original specifically for Scrabble tournament play.
I personally own a copy of Collins Official Scrabble Words which is, as far as I know, the most recent printed version of a Scrabble word list.
