NEW YORK (CNNMoney) Hashtag, triple word score.
For the first time in nearly a decade, Scrabble players are going to have some new words on their boards. The fifth edition of the game s official dictionary includes 5,000 new words, according <a href=http://www.buycelinebags.com>Celine Handbags Outlet</a> to . The dictionary goes on sale Wednesday.
Hashtag (14 points) and selfie (nine points) weren t around when the dictionary was last updated in 2005. Geocache (16 points) was selected via a social media contest.
Also joining the dictionary: emo (five points), bling (eight points), mixtape (18 points), beatbox (18 points) and a handful of two letter words, like po (meaning by mouth <a href=http://www.buycelinebags.com/celine-new-arrivals-35>Celine Bags New Arrivals</a> and worth four points). The additions go a long way toward bringing us closer to the language as it is currently spoken, said John Chew, co-president of the North American Scrabble Players Association. Other improvements include words and spellings used by Canadian and British speakers of English. The game s official fan group, which organizes tournaments and reviews updates to the dictionary, is very excited about the development. Chris Cree, also co-president of NASPA, said the additions will make for more scoring opportunities and add much more to the thought <a href=http://www.buycelinebags.com/celine-trapeze-bags-36>Celine Trapeze Bags</a> process in terms of both offensive and defensive strategy. The fourth edition of the dictionary included more than 100,000 words.
