NEW YORK - Scrabble players, time to rethink your game because 300 new words are coming your way, including some long-awaited gems: OK and ew, to name a few.
Merriam-Webster released the sixth edition of The Official Scrabble Players Dictionary on Monday, four years after the last freshening up. The company left out one possibility under consideration - the baseball term RBI - after consulting competitive players who thought it potentially too contentious. There was a remote case to be made since RBI has morphed into an actual word, pronounced rib-ee.
But that's OK because, "OK".
