Scrabble dictionary adds hundreds of words
NEW YORK (AP) — Here’s the sitch, Scrabble stans. Your
convos around the board are about to get more interesting with
about 500 new words and variations added to the game’s official
dictionary: stan, sitch, convo, zedonk, dox and fauxhawk among
them.
Out this month, the add-ons in the seventh edition of “The Official
Scrabble Players Dictionary” join more than 100,000 words
of two to eight letters. The book was last updated in 2018 through
a longstanding partnership between Hasbro and Merriam-Webster.
The new words include some trademarks gone generic —
dumpster for one — some shorthand joy like guac, and a delicious
display of more verb variations: torrented, torrenting, adulted, adulting,
atted, atting (as in don’t at me, bro).
