Book Reviews of The Official Scrabble Players Dictionary
Book Review: From the Board Games Editor at BellaOnline.com
Summary: 5 Stars
Whether or not you agree with the inclusion of many of these words, the fact of the matter is that OSPD4 is now the official dictionary for Scrabble tournament play. If you wish to play in a Scrabble tournament, you must learn them, or you will most certainly lose.
If you don't like "Scrabblese", maybe Scrabble isn't the right game for you. There are plenty of other great games out there. Try Wildwords, it's like Scrabble except it has "blank" tiles which can stand for not just one letter, but a whole string of letters. That game uses a regular old-fashioned collegiate dictionary as its word source, so you won't have to know qat, qi, or jo to play.
Book Review: Must have for Scrabble Players
Summary: 5 Stars
The Official Scrabble Players Dictionary is a must have item for Scrabble players of all levels. For years, my husband's family argued over which words were acceptable during their Scrabble games- they usually resorted to a standard dictionary which inevitably left someone feeling cheated. The Offical Scrabble Dictionary ends all arguments! It is also useful for discovering new words (especially those that start with 'Z'). The Scrabble Dictionary is a book that should sit on the shelf beside any and all editions of the Scrabble board game.Book Review: Enlightnment
Summary: 5 Stars
Excellent. When i got it i thought Amazon made a mistake, the box was too small...when i took it out of the box it was really small....well, it's BIG!!!
It like a compressed enciclopedia, and the best, it has all the inflections / plurals / synonimes that always provoque discussions in Scrabble.
The only thing i didn't like is that my book has some pages a little faded out but i didn't complain because it's still readable and i am so happy with it!!
No more losing at Scrabble for me!!!

Book Review: Very sturdy binding takes a lot of hard use
Summary: 5 Stars
Our family uses every get together as an excuse to play Scrabble and there are those of us who have computer Scrabble in order to practice between matches. This is the official version, but what is best about this paperback is that it has a very sturdy binding and can take the heavy use it gets in our competitive family. We bought this edition to replace our previous edition, which was not as well made and was falling apart. This book has held up well and is well worth the money to settle those Scrabble disputes.Book Review: great book as always
Summary: 5 Stars
If you plan on buying this as a spare and keeping your old edition, rethink it. Many new words that aren't in the 3rd addition. So if you allow dictionary searches as we do, use just one edition. I thought it would be neat to play with two books since we all like to keep looking up words during play. But when the books aren't identical its a little annoying. So chuck version 3 and get the 4th edition! My only problem has been there are some words in here that PC scrabble doesn't recognize.
