Although Scrabble is a classic game, the natural evolution of language serves to keep it modern and fresh. But unlike other games, where competitive balance is actively maintained by developers and/or players, Scrabble's buffs and nerfs kind of just happen on their own. Collins & the World English Scrabble Players' Association (WESPA) have just released their first update to their dictionary in several years, and in this video, I'll give you my top 10 new words poised to make huge impacts on the game!
To see the newly added words for yourself, click here: wespa.org/wp-c...
Sometime soon, I plan to resume streaming on my Twitch channel:
/ wanderer15
I also have a weekly show on the official Scrabble Twitch channel (Tuesdays 3-5 PM ET): / scrabble
Play Scrabble at playscrabble.com!

"Waifu", like other words such as "anime" and "onahole", are the result of a loanword back and forth between English and Japanese.

So, the *_ona_* part originates from Onan, a character in the bible put to death by Yahweh for "spilling his seed on the ground" (from which comes Onanism etc.).

If unplayable words don't count, then the hardest word to draw is ZYZZYVA, by far, but it's not hard to play. (Z can go in front of AEO, Y can hook many things, even from the front, and A can go either side of many letters.) Words that start and end with C or V, like VIVIFIC, are almost impossible to play as a bingo, since C and V are the hardest letters to hook or overlap with, and I and F are terrible for extending a word. All 8LWs should be pretty trivial to play in comparison, as you don't need to hook or overlap.

Surprised the C hook for HONK to CHONK wasn't mentioned as I can see that being quite powerful

@wanderer15 2 дня назад

Great point, I had it in mind to mention it and somehow forgot!

@mabel4324 День назад

some of my faves are plushie/stuffie and thingie.. the last one feels more like a cute-ification than an actual word but that makes it funny to me :]

I like to think people are going out of their way to find any nine or less letter combination, foreign, slang or abbreviation, just to get new words into scrabble

I more often hear regex pronounced with the /d͡ʒ/ sound for the g, rather than the hard g one might expect based on its origin of “regular”. Either are acceptable tho

@glenm99 4 дня назад

That's really curious, I've never actually heard anyone say it like that. That's how I read it in my head, because I learned regexes from written documentation before I knew the origin of the term. However, I always say it aloud with a hard g, because that's what everyone around me has always used. It's a neat puzzle. Words used primarily by people who spend a lot of time at computers probably don't have pronounciation frequencies that break down cleanly to the usual geographic boundaries. It makes one wonder what factors affect their relative frequency.

wait I kinda want to get into scrabble now… I never realized how hype it was that the meta of the game gets shaped by the fucking evolution of language

@Error-rc9es 2 дня назад

you know, at a certain point, if they keep doing this, scrabble will turn into a game of "place whatever random tiles you have" and the strategy will just be one of creating the highest possible scores

@setonix9151 День назад

I mean that's just language.
