Merriam-Webster, publisher of the dictionary of acceptable words for the popular board game, recently released its sixth edition, adding a number of words. Among the additions were these:

• arancini
• bestie
• emoji
• ew
• facepalm
• macaron
• OK
• zomboid.

The dictionary now includes more than 100,000 words. The fifth edition was released four years ago. The company has been making official Scrabble dictionaries since 1976. The game itself was invented by Alfred Butts and trademarked in 1948, updated for younger players in 2010, and inducted into the Toy Hall of Fame in the same year.
