I have increased my word knowledge.

Clearly haven't read the whole thing but it's a good companion to the game. Come prepared ya know.

[Evangeline · Rating 3 out of 5]

I was relieved to finally get my hands on this, thinking it would finally solve all our Scrabble problems. But I'm actually surprised at how many words it doesn't allow, especially disappointed about it not having two-letter chemical elements (I suppose these are abbreviations but still!) On the other hand though, it has been most helpful in alerting me to words beginning with 'q' in particular, such as 'qat' and 'qi(s)'. So a compromise has been reached, we now use both this AND an ordinary dictionary! Well, we aren't exactly professionals!

It is essential, but I pity the fool who actually reads this. It doesn't even say what the word means.

Would've got 5 stars if it would accept that quarjoz is so a word.

A must have for the serious scrabble player
