Product Description
The wildly popular word game, Scrabble(r), was conceived by Alfred Mosher Butts, an architect out of work during the Depression, and was trademarked in 1948. More than 40 years later, over 100 million Scrabble sets had sold worldwide, including 30 million in the USA alone. And, in 1991, shortly after the fall of the Berlin Wall and the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the first worldwide Scrabble tournament had been scheduled. With so many Scrabble aficionados, and the solid success of other Scrabble dictionaries, especially the Merriam-Webster titles, the time is right to add an illustrated dictionary to the Scrabble lexicon, using the Merriam-Webster text.

 Official Scrabble Dictionary is a Gem! January 7, 2009
I purchased this dictionary to accompany my silver anniversary edition Scrabble game also recently purchased. I am so impressed with the friendly format, colorful illustrations, and glossary included in this quality hardbound book. My adult daughters, son in law, and myself have renewed our love for the Scrabble game over the holidays. This Scrabble dictionary has been a Godsend to our game!
Very helpful. It is more than what I expected December 16, 2008

This item was very helpful for my mother. She uses everyday to play a game called Qwerty on Pogo. Thank you so very much.

One would think that an illustrated Scrabble dictionary would illustrate the obscure words that we struggle to learn. How about a picture of a hoatzin, or an obol? But rather this dictionary has pictures of everyday things that everyone knows. I will say that it is beautifully set. Much nicer looking than the non-illustrated version,
but as a reference it is no better than the other and probably it isn't worth the extra money. The only improvement is that it contains more lists at the end including 3- and 4-letter words, 4-vowel sixes and 5-vowel sevens and eights. Of course, you can get those lists in plenty of places.
