Word Buff's Ultimate Scrabble Cheat It's Totally Unfair! This is a free ebooklet for Word Buff subscribers. I'm always adding freebies to the members area, so make sure you check in from time to time. (Join here) Inside you'll find a list of every single two-to-five letter word allowed in English Scrabble. If you're going to cheat, this is the list you need to peek at ;-) Why? Because even though long words are more exciting to play (especially the plays that garner 50 bonus points!), the short words give you far greater bang for your buck. You will use them in almost every move of every game. Plus, there are nowhere near as many to learn as there are seven to nine letter words. So you get ten times the value for one tenth of the work. And that's the definition of 'bang for your buck'! Now, I know you're in a hurry to get into the words, but just a couple of pointers... You'll notice that the words do not all appear in the same format. I know it's annoying, but the thing is there are two official Scrabble dictionaries in use around the world and although they have a lot of words in common, there are quite a few differences too. If you want to know more about the different Scrabble lexicons I suggest you have a quick read of one of my old Word Buff newsletters here. But for now, all you really need to know is this... • Words that are bold are allowed in North American Scrabble. That is, they are all listed in the Official Scrabble Players Dictionary, which is Hasbro's official tome. The good news is that these words are also allowed in International (World English) Scrabble, so if you switch to the international scene you won't have to unlearn any of them. • Words that are non-bold are only allowed in International Scrabble. Some of the unbolded words are also italicized. These words are only valid in International Scrabble from 1 January 2012 (when Collins new Scrabble dictionary takes effect). Until that date, you can't play them in either lexicon. After that date, you can play them in International Scrabble, but not in North American play. Confused? Here are a few examples from the first page of words. AALII (bold) can be played anywhere, anytime. ADUKI (non-bold, non-italic) can only be played in International Scrabble. AIDA (non-bold, italic) can only be played in International Scrabble, and only from 1 January 2012. I'm sorry if I lost you there, but hey, it really ain't my fault ;-) And finally, what on earth do all these crazy words actually mean? Well, for that you'll need more than a cheat sheet – you'll need to get yourself a proper Scrabble dictionary! Well, I promised myself I'd keep my chatter to no more than one page for this book, and I'm just about there. So it's time to start studying … or cheating … however you prefer to think of it! Knock yourself out ;-) Derek Mckenzie, aka Word Buff P.S. Not sure how to memorize crazy long lists?
