Everything Scrabble

To have a more handy version of a Scrabble dictionary we recommend the paperback book Everything Scrabble. It is not a complete Scrabble dictionary containing all words that can be played in this game, but it contains some valuable lists. From high scoring words to a complete two-letter word list. Also lists occupying with the letters Q or QU can be found in that book. Additionally, readers can track back the history of Scrabble, get facts on Scrabble cultures all over the world, or learn some useful game strategies. Probably a must have for all Scrabble addicts.

The Scrabble Word-Building Book

Again this Scrabble dictionary doesn’t claim to be complete but seems to have all necessary Scrabble lists. Including a handy list of the 94 two-letter words to pile on the points, over 800 three-letter words with 550 that can be formed from two-letter words, or all eight-letter words that can be formed from seven-letter words. The Scrabble Word-Building Book maybe a book for all professionals but should be useful for every hobby Scrabbler that wants to improve his skills as well.

Another fast and easy way to avoid discussions is our Scrabble Helper. Just type in the word you want to check.

  1. Is it not so…if you tag a an existing word with say an “S” unlike scrabble you only get points for the “S” and not for the entire newly formed word. Scrabble counts the entire new word.

  2. What I am looking for is something electronic to hold in my hand, put in the letters on my rack, press a tab and then different words, using those letters, appear. As yet I cannot find this although I had one many moons ago.
