I Played a Card Game With My Fiancé to See Who Does the Most Housework.
2 LETTER SCRABBLE WORDS MOVIE
The Dungeons & Dragons Movie Pulls Off a Great, Unlikely Feat “I love seeing new words, just because they are shiny and new and feel like new toys to play with,” he said. Pogue figured out a way to extract the words, compared them against a previous digital version of the OSPD, and compiled lists of new three- and four-letter words and new words containing J, Q, X, or Z. Jeffrey Pogue, 18, of Westport, Connecticut, a former North American youth Scrabble champion, discovered that Merriam had updated its Scrabble Word Finder website before releasing the physical book. But there are no new two-letter words, and no huge game-changers, like when QI and ZA rocked Scrabble in 2006, or even when OK landed amid debate in 2016.
So is AT, as in “don’t at me.” INKING is pluralizable. Of the 489 total additions-a list is circulating like samizdat in the competitive Scrabble community-more than half are inflections of new words or new inflections of existing words. More new words means more opportunities to score more points-and fewer dictionaries means fewer new words and fewer scoring opportunities.īy that standard, the OSPD7 is a modest update. Including non-Merriam dictionaries has been a cause driven by competitive Scrabble players like me. A few hundred new words every five years or so is plenty to justify a new edition of a book aimed at living-room players who want the latest in language- SPORK, BAE, ZONKEY, and HYGGE adorn the seventh edition’s redesigned cover. It publishes the OSPD under an agreement with Hasbro Inc., which owns Scrabble in North America. The shortage of other dictionaries isn’t a problem for Merriam-Webster. The last time Scrabble players poached words from outside sources was 2014, when they combed the Oxford American College Dictionary (last published in 2007) and the Canadian Oxford Dictionary (2005), which supplied some cool newies like QAJAQ. Why the solo effort? Partly because there are no standard North American dictionaries left untapped.
2 LETTER SCRABBLE WORDS UPDATE
The new words in the latest OSPD update come only from Merriam, and were culled from more than 4,300 words added online from 2018 through 2021.
