Customer Reviews

Helping hand

Good for looking up words if you already have an idea of what tiles you want to use. I play online and it's a good helper, but I think it would waste time looking for words during a board game.

Scabble Word Finder

I really like using Scrabble Word Finder. It has really helped my wife and I play the scrabble on Dish Network.

Scrabble is the Best

It is a great mind expanding game. The book I ordered helps keep the mind sharp, great reference for the game. Fun just to read

Extremely helpful

I found this book extremely helpful. While it doesn't have every word that can be used, it does have so many words it will have your head spinning! Not every 2 & 3 letter words are in here but it's only the 1998 edition.

Fantastic Utility For Scrabble Strategists

There are two official Scrabble books that matter. This is the other (the first is a dictionary).The bulk of "The Official Scrabble Brand Word-Finder" by Robert W. Schachner is word lists. The 'b' words includes (can you believe it?) 'b' words. 'Book,' of course, is in that list, but so is 'vibe,' as it includes a 'b.'Now, it may seem silly, but they include a surprisingly handy list of two-letter words. Laugh if you like, but at the end of the game, when it is your turn, and you've only got an 'o' and an 'e,' wouldn't you be happy to remember that 'oe' is a completely legal Scrabble word? You betcha! No, I don't know what it means. That us what the other Scrabble book supplies: definitions.There is an excellent section of prefixes and suffixes, which will help prepare you to think through complex combinations utilizing what's already on the board.It is not as much fun as a dictionary, but for the function it employs, I fully recommend "The Official Scrabble Brand Word-Finder" by Robert W.
