NEW YORK — Here's the sitch, Scrabble stans. Your convos around the board are about to get more interesting with about 500 new words and variations added to the game's official dictionary: stan, sitch, convo, zedonk, dox and fauxhawk among them.
People are also reading… Fauxhawk, a haircut similar to a Mohawk, is potentially the highest scoring newbie, he said. Embiggen, a verb meaning to increase in size, is among the unexpected. The new Scrabble book includes at least one old-fashioned word that simply fell under the radar for years: yeehaw.
The Merriam-Webster wordsmiths have added a slew of food-related words: iftar, horchata, kabocha, mofongo, zuke, zoodle, wagyu, queso and marg, for margarita, among them. Many Scrabble players couldn't care less about definitions — only points — but informatively: Yes, jedi need not be capitalized. Wondering what grawlix means? It's this: $%!#, a series of typographical symbols used to replace words one doesn't want to write, usually those that got you into trouble as a kid.
