Why is "reinvent" not in the online Scrabble dictionary (at the Hasbro website)?

Does the dictionary include ALL legal words, including words formed by adding "re" or "un" to the beginning of another word?Why is "reinvent" not in the online Scrabble dictionary (at the Hasbro website)?
I'm a tournament player, and REINVENT is definitely okay.

Hasbro's interest in Scrabble is basically how many sales they can generate, not whether their online dictionary is flawless.

I don't know why they don't have it, or REINDUCT, or any verb form like that. The paper version of the Official Scrabble Players' Dictionary groups them all under "RE-" without defining them, so perhaps Hasbro was just too lazy to bother setting up their online dictionary to define the RE- words individually, so they appear to be missing.



Download Zyzzyva (www.zyzzyva.com), or Lexpert...these are free applications created by other tournament players and have the full North American lexicon called TWL (as well as the world English lexicon, I think, if you choose). And, as they're done by players who care about the game FOR players who care about the game - they're done right.

The paper version of the OSPD will include all legal words (for North American Scrabble) excluding about 200 that are deemed too offensive to be included - as they want to market it to homes and schools etc.

You just have to be careful checking both REINVENT (which isn't there), and under the subheading for the RE- prefix (where you would eventually find it).

The extra 200 "naughty" words are in the official tournament word list (TWL) which is used in sanctioned competition in North America.Why is "reinvent" not in the online Scrabble dictionary (at the Hasbro website)?
A better scrabble dictionary is at www.lexulous.com. They actually have both the TWL (The Word List) and the SOWPODS (encompassing british scrabble words also) dictionaries, and both are searchable online. Lexulous is free to use.



It doesnt' matter which dictionary you use, as long as you and your opponent(s) agree before you start which dictionary you'll be using. Whatever your choice, you have to honor what that dictionary says.
