Takes the game to new level of play and learning. Lots of new words that were not recognized in the prior edition.
Not only will you become a better player your families vocabulary will blossom. Even if you only play scrabble on occasion, you have got to own one of these dictionaries.
I may purchase another for myself. I am very satisfied with the book. Other listing too but to much to write about. In the back of the book is a listing of 2 letter words and also other words using the letter Q in it. Great condition. I gave it as a birthday present and she was very happy with it.
The book was used but in excellent shape. My friends, my husband and I couldn't play the game of Scrabble without it. We would fight too much.
We are not game fanatics, so the criticisms some reviewers have seem petty to us. My wife and I probably get in 10 Scrabble games a week, and we used to trade off any of four dictionaries: two paperbacks, a hardcover crossword puzzle reference, and a 1942 hardcover. Any normal "social player" will find this volume sufficient and the former dictionaries returned to the shelf. Frankly, I don't even like to use words I never heard spoken or used in a sentence or can't imagine ever seeing in print outside of the covers of this dictionary, but when a win is on the line, I am flexible enough to abandon principles. I bought this one, in soft covers and large print, because we are both over 60 and benefit from larger type. It is awkward to pass across the table, but once dipped into, this becomes fascinating.
