QUIZ: Do you know the new Scrabble words?
- Published
"Lolz" and "ridic" are among the new words being added to the Scrabble word list in news that will send a shiver down the spines of old-school wordsmiths.
The new lexicon draws heavily on social media and internet slang. But even proud millennials and Twitter addicts will have trouble recognising some of the words.
One of the highest scoring new entries is quinzhee - an Inuit snow shelter - which scores 29 Scrabble points.
Other new words now acceptable in the board game include onesie, devo - short for devolution - vape, as well as facetime, hashtag and sexting.
