The Merriam-Webster Official Scrabble Players Dictionary Illustrated E dition Overview

The wildly popular word game, Scrabble(r), was conceived by Alfred Mosher Butts, an architect out of work during the Depression, and was trademarked in 1948. More than 40 years later, over 100 million Scrabble sets had sold worldwide, including 30 million in the USA alone. And, in 1991, shortly after the fall of the Berlin Wall and the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the first worldwide Scrabble tournament had been scheduled. With so many Scrabble aficionados, and the solid success of other Scrabble dictionaries, especially the Merriam-Webster titles, the time is right to add an illustrated dictionary to the Scrabble lexicon, using the Merriam-Webster text.

Disappointing Scrabble Dictionary - Frank H. -
The Official Scrabble User's Dictionary is disappointing as are the present day scrabble rules. The rules of my older scrabble are definitive in stating no slang, no abbreviations, no proper nouns requiring capitalization, and no foreign words. This dictionary is full of words that violate those rules. How can Indian or Chinese currency not be considered foreign words? Either the rules have been relaxed for the masses or with the intent of creating "new" words every couple of years to sell dictionaries. And how can the Spanish word "si" be acceptable and the German word "ja" (both meaning the same) not be acceptable? It is hard for me to accept a lot of the words in the dictionary as being real. For those who are okay with the evolution of the game, the dictionary is a treasure trove.



helpful, but clumsy - Janet Gari - New York City
Although the information is both handy and interesting, the book is very heavy to pass around the table while playing the game. It's too much of a good thing.



Great Book - F. Gommesen -
I love this dictionary!! I use it all the time. I enjoy playing scrabble even more now. It has some pictures and lists of useful words in the back. Great buy.
