In the last year or two, the Scrabble dictionary has been scrubbed of more than 200 racial, ethnic and otherwise offensive words despite their presence in some other dictionaries.

This might spark an interesting 'convo' - Scrabble has added more than 500 new playable words to its official dictionary.

Out this month, the latest additions will feature in the 17th edition of The Official Scrabble Players' Dictionary, which features all the eligible two to eight letters words that can be played in the board game. The new words include some trademarks that have gone generic such as dumpster, and some shortened words like guac, inspo and adorbs.
