The Official SCRABBLE Players Dictionary, A "QUICKIE" Makes For a Good Score

Date of Review:  Jan 4, 2007
The Bottom Line: This is an easy to use companion for any SCRABBLE players young and old. It is quite complete and short definitions allow more words to a page with easier viewing.
Review: Every Christmas season my wife and I make time to sit by the fireplace with the tree lights on, have a drink with refreshments and play SCRABBLE with music in the background. There was a time when I would win most games. Those days are over. It has...

For the True Scrabble Champion.

Date of Review:  Jun 21, 2000
Review: For those of you who have played Scrabble at some point in your lifetime, you will likely be able to relate to this situation:

There is not much space left on the board, and it is your opposition's turn. Connecting to the letter O, they...

The Official Scrabble Players Dictionary: Never Start or End A Game Without It

Date of Review:  Feb 13, 2008
The Bottom Line: Never start or end a game without it.
Review:



Have you ever known someone that is completely brutal when it comes to board games? They are ruthless, never bend any rule and will use the challenge option at the drop of a hat. That, in a nutshell, is Tommy. I have one of the...

If it's in there, I'm having it!

Date of Review:  May 17, 2001
The Bottom Line: THE first reference dictionary devised specifically for the game of Scrabble. You NEED to have this book handy, every game!
Review: Scrabble between me and my Mother was a pretty one-sided contest, given that I was around 10 years old, and she in her 30's! Later on, I was able to fare better, but she held the mental edge!
Nowadays, I play against my wife, and she is the Zen...

Scrabble Dictionary

The definitive Scrabble dictionary - almost

Date of Review:  Jul 28, 2001
The Bottom Line: It's a good value and a good dictionary, but it can't stand alone, even for Scrabble.
Review: The 3rd edition of the Official Scrabble Players Dictionary (OSPD) is a huge improvement over the 2nd edition. The typeface is larger, and the glaring typos in the 2nd edition have been fixed. The vocabulary includes both modern words and (some)...

Pretty good... not perfect

Date of Review:  Nov 2, 2001
The Bottom Line: Perfect for recreational scrabble players. Won't become inadequat until you start trying for a rating and/or the day you try to play "fart" as a word.
Review: If you play Scrabble, you absolutely need this book.

Let's give an example: a heated, hotly contested game with my Dad and brother. I play "bendy", as in "a bendy straw". I get challenged. The dictionary in the house doesn't have it. I...

Do You Want to Challenge My Word?

Date of Review:  Mar 12, 2001
The Bottom Line: It's great to have, as the definitions are short and to the point, however some words aren't included.
Review: I love playing Scrabble. I've played for years, and humbly admit I win a fair number of the games I play. A year ago a friend bought me the Scrabble Dictionary, which now accompanies me at these games.

The definitions are brief. This might...

For those who "challenge"

Date of Review:  Dec 13, 2001
The Bottom Line: A must-have for scrabble players. Clears up confusion on what is allowed, word-wise, in the game.
Review: You are playing Scrabble. Your opponent makes the word aa. You challenge, claiming it isn't a word. It is not in your average dictionary. You whip out the golden book-and low and behold, find that aa is actually a word, or at least allowable in the...
