The descriptions of all of these dictionaries in the Amazon listings are wholly inadequate to explain the many versions offered. This one only goes up to 9 letter words vs. 12 in the hard cover which also separates the 2 and 3 letter words so they are easier to find. This one is also a smaller book with smaller type. These are two very different books, which is impossible to know from the listings. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for finding the definitions for all those obscure scrabble words. *by C***S on Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2016* Great resource for word definitions. Has all the different word inflections on on separate line. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Compact, Easy To Use and Fun for All *by P***P on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 17, 2017* This compact Collins Scrabble Dictionary is a handy good-value word bible for all Scrabble lovers, both casual and hardcore.It contains all words up to 9 letters in length and fully replicates the official wordlist used in Scrabble tournaments (they do exist, they're great fun and most are open to everyone - see the ABSP website to learn more!) in the UK and international tournaments, including the World Championships. It's also used in the Scrabble app (not Words With Friends unfortunately). It is published by Collins, contains words inspired by other sources/publishers and also embraces the North American wordlist. It's easy to pick up, read and enjoy obscure findings, from Shakespearian and archaic terms to modern day internet favourites and wonderful words from international English.Although "living room players" may prefer to opt to their own dictionary, it's best to use this one as it's official and allows for a more fun and interesting game, and also makes way for new words which are being used in everyday life as well as old favourites. Language is evolving.Updated in 2015 (dictionaries get updated roughly every 4 years), you can surprise your opponents with some of the 4,000 + new words like HASHTAG, HANGRY, ZOWEE and RIDIC, which can of course be extended to RIDICULOUS. Words longer in 9-letters are voided so you don't have to worry about those, just looks out for possible extensions that hit the triple word squares. If you want the full word list you can buy a copy of Official Scrabble Words (a pure wordlist with no definitions) or Ultimate Scrabble Dictionary and Wordlist.Not only does it solve Scrabble squabbles wherever and whenever you play, it's also good for word learning and finding out what all the words mean. The unique thing about this dictionary is that all the definitions are very short but succinct and precise, so you don't have to waste time reading super-specific, exhausting and lengthy sentences. This makes the book highly accessible and easy to carry and understand.Here's an A - Z of some of my favourite words:ADENOID - of or relating to the gland.BARRIOS - Spanish-speaking corners in a town or city, especially in th US.CYMATIUM - top moulding of a classical cornice or entablature.DROSERA - insectivorous plant.ENTETE - obsessed.FUGUE - type of musical composition.GLUMPISH - glumpy.HEBDOMAD - number seven or a group of seven.IVRESSEN - drunkenness.JAROOL - Indian tree.KHEDA - enclosure used to capture wild elephants.LAZARET - small locker at the stern of a boat.MAWBOUND - (of cattle) constipated.NEUTRINO - elementary particle with no mass or electrical charge.OLIBANUM - frankincense.PHOEBE - greyish-brown North American flycatcher.QUAALUDE - methaqualine.RETIARII - gladiators armed with a net or trident.SHAKUDO - Japanese coin.TERCIOS - regiment of Spanish and Italian infancy.URBEX - short for urban exploration.VIRETOT - as in on the viretot - in a rush.WANDEROO - macaque monkey.XANTHAM - acacia gum.YIDAKI - long wooden musical instrument.ZELATRIX - nun who monitors the behaviour of younger nuns. ## Frequently Bought Together - Collins Scrabble Dictionary: The official Scrabble solver - all playable words 2 - 9 letters in length - Scrabble Original Board Game by Mattel --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/62720090-collins-scrabble-dictionary-the-official-scrabble-solver-all-playable-words](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/62720090-collins-scrabble-dictionary-the-official-scrabble-solver-all-playable-words) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-11*
