Dictionaries

There is more than one official Scrabble dictionary in each language. We bring you a selection of the more commonly played dictionaries to suit the game you are playing:

OSPD - Official Scrabble Players Dictionary v4.

First published in 1978 by the National Scrabble Association for speakers of United States English. Intended for school and family use, not tournament play.

SOWPODS - OSPD + OSW (Official Scrabble Words, derived from the Chambers Dictionary).

This is used in tournament Scrabble in most English speaking countries.

TWL - Tournament Word List.

Used for tournament play in USA, Canada, Thailand and Israel. TWL is much smaller than the SOWPODS dictionary used for tournaments in other parts of the world.

ENABLE - Enhanced North American Benchmark LExicon.

Another popular reference list but not widely taken up for official games.

ODS4 - L'Officiel du Scrabble v4.

Official French Scrabble Dictionary. Note that using this dictionary will change the tile distribution and scoring to use French Scrabble rules.

For most English games TWL is a good dictionary and it's our default choice. Our puzzles can use different dictionaries, so be sure to check the puzzle details before playing.
