Book Reviews of The Official Scrabble Players Dictionary
Book Review: Howff knaur gaum buppie. Angary pitsaw?
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a great dictionary for weirdoes like me who enjoy increasing their vocabulary at the cost of their sanity. On the minus side, it's insufferably light on definitions. An example is "PATAGIAL---pertaining to a patagium." O-kayyyy! On the plus side, it is absolutely filled with odd nouns, inflected verb forms, antiquated spellings, and just plain old everyday words. THE OFFICIAL SCRABBLE PLAYERS DICTIONARY is a must if you have six random consonants and two "I"s. Ichthyic.Book Review: It's official, ergo sans combat Scrabble
Summary: 5 Stars
There's no more guessing with the Official Scrabble Players Dictionary. If it's in there, you are good to go. No more bickering resulting in combat Scrabble; no more second-guessing whether the word 'fits' the parameters of the rules - if the word you laid down in tiles is in black and white between the covers of this book, you have the points. Period. And you may be surprised at what is between the covers...it makes for great reading on the sly...
Memorize, memorize!
Book Review: Great Improvement in OSPD
Summary: 5 Stars
For about 50 years, I have been a veteran Scrabble Player and have participated in many tournaments, as well as playing on line, internationally.
The updated edition of OSPD is excellent, because they separated special sections with prefixes, making it much easier to find your way around.
The only complaint I have is that the delivery charges were much higher than the book, forcing me to rely more on local or second-hand books.
Book Review: must have for scrabble players
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this Scrabble Dictionary paperback from Amazon. If you enjoy playing Scrabble like me and you have a hillbilly father-in-law like me that makes up words then this book is a must. We play that any word can be challenged and it must be in the book. After I disqualify all my father-in-laws crazy words I like throwing my own words down like "za" that he challenges and then curses when he finds it in the book. Thumbs up.
Book Review: One of the Strangest Dictionaries I've Ever Read
Summary: 3 Stars
This dictionary has many words I have never seen before. It has alternate spellings of most words and for some, brief definitions. I did not think it was legal to use non-English words in Scrabble, but this dictionary has quite a few words from other languages, such as Japanese, Chinese, Arabic, and many others. It isn't useful outside of Scrabble, but it is an interesting read if you like to discover new, strange words.
