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.
However you can't actually use them until January 2012. No harm in learning a few though.
