David Sutton's word lists: NOW AMENDED TO INCLUDE NEW COLLINS WORDS!

These documents have been produced for the interest and benefit of Scrabble® players. Some of them made their first appearance in weekly postings to the uk-scrabble list, but the versions given here contain various corrections and a number of additions. Further corrections and additions are always welcome and can be emailed to David Sutton.

Every effort has been made to ensure that the contents are accurate in the limited sense that all headwords should be found valid according to the current Scrabble® word list (i.e. CSW), but the definitions and derivations are in many cases considerably simplified from what is to be found in a proper dictionary.

This material may be freely downloaded for private use or for reproduction in any non-commercial Scrabble® venture.

Note: the material below has now been extensively amended to incorporate new words from Collins Scrabble Tournament and Club Word List (CSW), which will be valid for play as from May 15th, 2007. For ease of reference these words are shown in red with a following plus sign.

Two letter words, with definitions

Three letter words, with definitions

Four letter words, with definitions

Five letter words (new for CSW), with definitions
