Customer Reviews

needs to update again

I have a list of 101 (2 letter) words, not 92 like the book, I have also found that some of the words listed in the book are not recognized by The Words with Friends game on Facebook. But all in all, it is the best reference I have found for the game.

Easy to use

Great for looking up those "odd" words. Small enough to store in the Scrabble box.

A Useful Tool for Scrabble Players

A handy tool for playing Scrabble. My daughter and I use it constantly - much better than just a dictionary.

Easy to check all possible word choices!

Great book to have for checking possibilities within the constraints of a given draw of letters.

study this book

If you ever want to be a good Scrabble player, study this book!While a little dated (since words have been removed from legal play) it still is the most complete list for building words.

Scrabble Goes Educational

Scrabble has been an integral part of our family for over 50 years. The originators (Grandmother and her sisters) were highly competitive and were totally against the idea of looking up words prior to playing. But, in order to encourage the game with the fourth generation, the rules have been relaxed.As a result, this book is extremely helpful to teach adding on to words and multiple-word plays. While it just consists of alphabetized lists, we make it a rule that you also have to look up the meaning of the word in the Scrabble dictionary, if not known.But beware... while the book is fairly complete, there are some words that are not included which can be found in earlier editions of the Official Scrabble Dictionary.So, the recommendation is, this makes a fun and wonderful companion book, but should not be relied on alone.
