New Collins Scrabble® Words INITIATION KIT January 2012 Compiled by David Sutton under direction of the WESPA Dictionary Committee Based on the WESPA wordlist, copyright of Harper Collins 2011, and published with permission of HarperCollins publishers A SELECTION OF USEFUL WORDS FROM OVER 2,000 ADDITIONAL 2-9 LETTER WORDS ALLOWED IN COLLINS SCRABBLE® WORDS (CSW) 2012 EDITION SCRABBLE is a registered trademark of J W Spears & Sons Ltd, a Mattel company This booklet is copyright of WESPA © January 2012 Version 1.2 Jan, 2012 1 INTRODUCTION I have always looked at the introduction of new words with a mixture of joy and trepidation - joy, because all new words enrich our game, and some of them are words I have heard of, but been unable to play; trepidation, because it is usually difficult to absorb changes straight away, so this must happen over time. The task of absorbing the additions and deletions is made vastly easier by the Initiation Kit, and due to the relatively fewer changes this time, it has been possible to produce a more comprehensive list of the changes as well as definitions, and I am grateful to David Sutton, Allan Simmons and Darryl Francis for producing it. It is intended that the new list will be used in WESPA-rated tournaments from 1 January 2012. With best wishes, Elie Dangoor WESPA Chairman Version History 1.0 1.1 1.2 May 2011 May 2011 Jan 2012 Version 1.2 Jan, 2012 First issue Corrected definition of OI: it's a bird, not a bloke Removed erroneous indication of –S hook on BASEN 2 The Purpose of this Booklet The transition from the 2007 version of the Collins Scrabble Tournament & Club Word List (hereinafter referred to as CSW07) to the 2012 version (hereinafter referred to as CSW12) is a smaller one than has been the case with updates in the past, involving 2023 new words of length 3 to 9 letters (there are no new 2-letter words), together with the deletion of 203 words of length 3 to 9 that are no longer supported by the source dictionaries. There are already over 150,000 words of 9 letters or fewer in CSW07. Most average players are familiar with only a fraction of those and can play a very good game at their level through focusing on just those words most useful for Scrabble. Thus it is suggested that you need only be familiar with a few hundred of the unique CSW12 words to play a solid game under the new word rules. In most game situations, knowledge of at least the new 3-letter words will be very important, together with some acquaintance with the most likely new bonus words; then, even given no more than that, the wealth of words already available will enable players to still play a strong CSW12 game. This initiation kit focuses on the most useful CSW12 unique words which will assist players in adapting to the new word rules. Don’t feel you have to learn them all at once. Introduce a few into your game as you go, you will soon realise the most useful ones and also learn more from what your opponents are playing. The format of the booklet is very similar to that used for the CSW07 version, but because there are many fewer words this time round, it has been possible to be more generous with the scope of the lists. To wit, this version offers:  definitions for all new fives as well as for threes and fours, whereas the CSW07 version had definitions only for twos, threes and fours  new unique hooks for fives as well as twos, threes and fours, whereas the CSW07 version showed hooks only for twos, threes and fours  definitions for the vowel-heavy sevens and eights, whereas in the CSW07 version definitions were give only for the fours and fives, and the vowel-heavy sevens and eights were listed without definitions  new –S hooks for 7-letter words as well as for all shorter lengths, whereas in the CSW07 version this list was limited to 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 letter words  lists of unique CSW2012 7-letter words and 8-letter words from the top 10000 words, whereas in the CSW07 version these lists were limited to the top 1000 words Version 1.2 Jan, 2012 3 INDEX OF LISTS o NEW THREEs – with definitions o NEW FOURs – with definitions o NEW FIVEs – with definitions o NEW HOOKS to TWOs, THREEs, FOURs
