Scrabble adds 300 new words, including ‘OK’ and ‘ew’

Scrabble enthusiasts now have 300 more words to up their game, thanks to the sixth edition of the popular board game.

The latest edition, which was released this week, added long-awaited words like “OK” and ew” to the Scrabble lexicon, something that fans of the game won’t take for granted according to Merriam-Webster (which publishes The Official Scrabble Players Dictionary).

“OK is something Scrabble players have been waiting for, for a long time,” said lexicographer Peter Sokolowski, editor at large at Merriam-Webster.

Twerk, beatdown, bestie and arancini are some of the other words that have been added.
