« Last post by Mania22 on February 22, 2024, 07:42:35 AM »I'm relatively new and playing around with various word lists (using Crossfire). What supplemental word list(s) do you find to have the liveliest, freshest words and realistic scoring (I find too many give 50+ to very obscure words)? Which would you avoid at all costs due to lots of junk that is unusable? Thanks so much for the input.
Welcome to the world of word games! When it comes to lively and fresh word lists with realistic scoring, consider these:
Merriam-Webster's Official Scrabble Player's Dictionary (OSP):
Provides commonly used words in Scrabble.
Balanced scoring for a wide range of players.
Words With Friends Dictionary:
Tailored for the popular game, offering a mix of everyday and game-specific vocabulary.
Collins Scrabble Words:
Used in international Scrabble competitions.
Comprehensive and balanced.
