videos for this list we’re looking at
some of the new words that Scrabble
added to their dictionary in 2018 and
also considering some of the new entries
from 2014 number 10 ppm tap
traditionally foreign language words
have not been permitted in Scrabble
though commonly used English words with
a foreign origin have been allowed so
that means a word has to be popular
enough for Scrabble to consider it part
of the English language
considering the rise in the Korean food
trend it may come as no surprise that
PBF app is now deemed permissible by the
board game brain trust as an
eight-letter word it’ll be a tricky one
to use and unfortunately it doesn’t have
any particularly high-scoring letters in
it
it sure is tasty though number nine
puggle designer dog breeds are
ever-changing and evolving but one mix
that has become a mainstay is the puggle
a mix between you guessed it a pug and a
beagle these short nosed wrinkly face
dago’s are real cuties puggles have been
around since the 80s but have really
risen in popularity in the last two
decades and now they’re even represented
in Scrabble you can use your knowledge
of this new allowance to use the word on
its own or NAB a spot on the board by
adding the GL e to an existing pug
number eight emoji for better or for
worse emojis have become a part of our
cultural lexicon and are used on the
daily by millions of people in 2015
oxford dictionaries even called the face
with tears of joy emoji their word of
the year in a controversial move now the
originally Japanese word emoji is
acceptable in Scrabble and with that
hard to use J it could be a handy thing
to pull out at the right moment
similarly the phone related word selfie
was added to the scrabble dictionary in
2014 number seven facepalm all right
another inextricable part of our modern
society is the facepalm adjust your
signifying embarrassment or shame over
having done something totally stupid
poor witnessing someone else do so there
is some debate over when the word
originated with Macmillan dictionary
saying it was 2006 and others claiming
it was earlier in 2001 the Oxford
English Dictionary added it to their
lexicon in 2011 and now it’s permissible
in Scrabble as of 2018
another 8 letter word it may be tricky
to find a place for it but if you manage
you’ll rack up that 50-point bonus
number 6 bestie according to the
official Scrabble rules certain types of
words are not allowed
like standalone prefixes and suffixes as
well as abbreviations so you’d think it
would stand that a word like bestie
which is an abbreviation of sorts for
best friend would not be allowed as of
2018 however the official scrabble
dictionary will include the word likely
because it’s become a commonly used one
in its own right and is no longer
considered simply an abbreviation and
it’s the perfect one to play if your
trouncing your own bestie to add insult
to injury
number 5 sriracha looking back we’re
pretty sure that this is the condiment
that will define the 2010s these days
people put sriracha on pretty much
everything and you’d be hard-pressed to
find a millennial home without it
so if the people at Scrabble are trying
to appeal to the younger generation then
they’re making a good bet by including
the formerly tie only sriracha in their
dictionary like some of the other words
on this list we’re guessing this will be
a tricky one to use because of its
length but considering it starts with an
S that makes things a little easier
number 4 listicle in our wired and
wireless fast-paced modern age the
listicle reigns supreme when it comes to
how we like to get our information if
you’re watching a video listicle right
now and hey it’s no surprise why
listicles impart info in short
entertaining and digestible bits and
have become a huge part of our culture
so it comes as no surprise that they’re
now being recognized by Scrabble since
the word is mostly made up of common low
value letters it should be a simple one
to put together number three you
all times Scrabble purists may be
tempted to say well you this
extraordinarily common exclamation has
finally made the cut and just think of
how useful it can be as a word option Oh
take a crab juice
Peter Sokolowski editor-at-large at the
esteemed merriam-webster weighed in with
his take quote I think you is
interesting because it expresses
something new about what we’re seeing in
language which is to say that we are now
incorporating more of what you might
call transcribed speech we totes agree
totally totes mcgoats cool number two
twerk if you want extra confirmation
that Scrabble is not a stodgy game here
it is in a clear plain gauge potential
players who are like under the age of 65
Scrabble has decided to add twerk and
its derivatives to its dictionary as of
2018 honestly they’re a bit late to the
game on this one since people haven’t
really been buzzing about shaking the
buttocks while squatting too much since
approximately 2014 but hey we can’t
expect them to be totally with the times
Scrabble work at Hasbro number one okay

of an acronym but now the lowercase
version is okay okay do you agree with
