Some of the new Scrabble words

Here are some of the latest additions to the Scrabble canon. I look forward to finding and learning all the 3,000 additions. You can download a list of the most useful three to eight letter new Scrabble words for 2011 here . Innit? You can read a comprehensive introduction to the new list at the WESPA site .
