Official Scrabble Players Dictionary Turns 32 in 2010
The Official Scrabble Players Dictionary, now on its 4th Edition, will celebrate 33 years since its initial publication in 1978. A joint effort between the National Scrabble Association Dictionary Committee and Merriam-Webster, the current edition is still published by Merriam-Webster. Scrabble, itself, is a trademark of Hasbro in the United States and Canada and Mattel, elsewhere. For your copy, head to http://www.OfficialScrabblePlayersDictionary.com for the best deals on the latest edition.Over the years, Scrabble has become one of the world’s favorite word games with English language national players associations in more than 50 countries worldwide, and they all use the Official Scrabble Players Dictionary. The World Scrabble Championships are held every second year in a major world city. For 2009 Johor Bahru, Malaysia hosted and Nigel Richards of New Zealand won the entire competition. Mr. Richards is also the reigning National Scrabble Champion after winning that same competition in Dallas this past year.
The latest edition of the Official Scrabble Players Dictionary, available at http://www.OfficialScrabblePlayersDictionary.com, was published in 2005 and contains the most commonly accepted word and contains corrections stemming from the original edition having been compiled by hand. After some contentious debate in the 1980's, any word deemed offensive in the first edition was removed from the Scrabble Dictionary; however, they were kept on the Official Tournament and Club Word List to appease angry members of the National Scrabble Association. 2010 is shaping up to be a big year for fans of the world’s favorite word game with both a National Championship as well as the World title on the line.
