Scrabble Players Dictionary Revised

The Official Scrabble Players Dictionary has been revised for the first time in a decade.

 

Te (the seventh note of a major scale), da (dad), gi (a white garment worn in martial arts), and po (a chamber pot) are among 5,000 entries to be included in an updated version of The Official Scrabble Players Dictionary. The Dictionary has been revised for the first time in a decade.

Merriam-Webster, the publisher, has yet to reveal all of the new words but has released a list of about 30 that include buzzkill (a person who has a depressing or negative effect), and chillax (to calm down). The dictionary, used by Scrabble players in all US competitions, already features more than 100,000 words. –
