the addition of more than 500 new words
“Additions to the wordlist have zero effect on the game itself, hardly any effect on the play of the game, and only a very small effect on the players who have to learn them,” huffed. “I see nothing … that will have even a small fraction of the impact on game play that the additions of QI and ZA had years ago,” Sherman added.
Scrabblers also noted that many “new” words are not so new after all, like Dumpster , which had until now been considered a trademark versus a generic word for a trash receptacle. The seventh edition of “The Official Scrabble Players Dictionary” features a variety of new words, including fintech, zaatar, hogsbane.“There’s lots of cool words in here,” said Stefan Fatsis, 59, author of “Word Freak” and a competitive Scrabble player, noting that the slang term “fav” will be a lifesaver for anyone looking to drop the annoying, clunky letter “v.”
