Contents. History Background and creation The Official Scrabble Players Dictionary was first published in 1978 through the efforts of the (NSA) Dictionary Committee and, primarily in response to a need for a word authority for NSA-sanctioned clubs and tournaments. Prior to its publication, Scrabble clubs and tournaments used Standard College Dictionary as an official word source, but as tournament play grew, this source proved unsatisfactory. The inclusion of foreign words such as 'Ja' and 'Oui', the exclusion of common words such as 'coven' and 'surreal', and a lack of clear guidance on the creation of comparative terms, were all problematic for Scrabble players. Games manufacturers, the owners of Scrabble at the time, approached to assist with the compilation of an official Scrabble dictionary. They proposed that words should be included in the new dictionary if they appeared in the five in-print collegiate dictionaries, namely (1968), (1969), (1970), (1973) and Funk & Wagnalls (1973). The compilation was produced by hand and many and omissions were later discovered.

Publicity in Jewish media led to the writing to chairman Alan Hassenfeld, who announced that a third edition would be published with 'offensive' words like 'JEW', 'FARTED', 'FATSO', and 'BOOBIE' removed. The news was generally not well received by members of the National Scrabble Association, which was not consulted in the decision.
After receiving mostly negative feedback from players, including threats to boycott events, president John D. Williams announced a compromise, the result of which was the publication, without definitions, of the unexpurgated. Fourth edition A fourth edition of the dictionary was published by Hasbro in 2005, which contained around 4000 additional words, including strategically useful two-letter words 'QI' and 'ZA'. Fifth edition A fifth edition was published on August 6, 2014. New words include the two-letter words 'DA', 'GI', 'PO', and 'TE'.
