The first day I used this dictionary, I found a missing word. "Alleviate" and it's derivatives, are not listed. Inexcusable!

5 out of 5 stars Scrabble Dictionary   December 28, 2008
Very handy book, small enough to fit right into the game box, so it's within reach when you play. Easy to search, bold lettering of searched word makes it easier to find. Overall, a great tool to help enjoy the game and settle challenges.


4 out of 5 stars Good scrabble dictionary   December 27, 2008
Tons of words, many I'd never heard of. Good chance you'll find a word that works with your tiles. And you'll be able to determine for sure if your opponent is playing a legal word or not. Regrets: it slows down the game and takes some of the fun out of it, especially if you allow players use it to hunt for words.


2 out of 5 stars Many words in reg dictionary not in this one.   December 25, 2008

This book has BI QI and numerous other words not accepted in a normal dictionary. But I have found many words in other dictionaries not in this one. So I felt betrayed. However it makes the game more fun. But not enough effort went into it.
