Third Edition.
This is the definitive reference book and the official dictionary of the game. New words appear in the English language every day and this new and revised edition will keep players in step with the latest additions and variations. Only words that are permissible in Scrabble Brand crossword games are included.
The entries include:
- Over 100,000 two-to-eight letters words - words within this range are considered to be most useful to Scrabble Brand crossword game players
- Run-on entries - one or more derivatives of the main entry
- Cross-references - inflected forms of main entries
- Parts of speech to which the word belongs, eg noun, verb etc
- Inflected forms - such as the past tense, past participle, present tense etc
- Definitions - very brief, to orient the player in a general way to a single meaning of the word
- Lists of undefined words which use the prefix re- or un-
Because dictionaries have different standards for selecting entries, several current desk dictionaries were consulted in preparing the list of main entries to ensure a wider range of entries than any single dictionary of that kind offers. With over 3,000 new entries, no other dictionary includes all the two to eight letter words you will find in this edition.
