A freebie with my Franklin Mint Scrabble set, this is a nicely-done reference of all approved words for scrabble, with brief definitions. It's basically a compact stripped-down dictionary, and best used for its ascribed purpose, settling disputes in Scrabble games.

Perhaps the only reference book that has gotten regular use in my home since I learned to spell. Anyone without a real love of the game will complain about its inclusion or exclusion of words, but those of us with the Scrabble Sickness have nothing but awe for those who consider all the finer

points of the game when determining the final lineup.

I only play my SCRABBLE at the scrabble internet club (SIC), so I canmnot say how this dictionary does for other sites, but the SIC uses this dictionary and adds a few words, mostly vulgariti4es and slang, that the dictionary will not publish.

A must for any regular Scrabble player!

Excellent of course.
