Publisher Comments:

Whether at an official tournament or a home kitchen table, every SCRABBLE player wants to be a winner—and these specially selected words and expert hints are guaranteed to boost scores. Based on the Official Scrabble Players Dictionary, Fourth Edition (currently one of the bestselling games and puzzles books) and with foreword by World SCRABBLE Champion Brian Cappelletto, this is the equivalent of an intensive training course. Complete with winning word lists, such as those that combine high-scoring letters, those that have a preponderance of vowels, and those that allow multiple I and U dumps, it also offers tips on hitting triple-triples and achieving those elusive 7-letter bingos.

This easy to comprehend and fun to read tome of Scrabble Word Lists is quite useful in the high-scoring, word-making process. Its pages are chock-full of little known words and neat quirks and information aplenty. And while some may prefer to have the meanings provided, this dictionary is definition free and in being so, doesn't waste any space using them.
Alas it does have its downfalls. One that sticks out immediately is the fact that there are no references to the longer words (ten letters or more) that would be helpful in deciding disputes on spelling them (and this is the reason for the 4 out of 5 rating). But that aside, this work is very engrossing and you may find yourself perusing the pages throughout the day or night, whether playing or not. For any Scrabble player or word-smith or just the curious, this is easily recommended.

an excellent wordbook for use by any Scrabble player.
The number of possible words to make by adding on to either the beginning or the end of an existing word is just mindboggling. One could sit the entire day, just looking through this book, and reading the thousands of available words capable of being played in the game.
