I didn't bother to look further but my memory suggests that over the decades multiple limiting Scrabble dictionaries have been published.


I actually found this list as an effort to find these limiting dictionaries, and I only found this one. And it's told to me by Will Anderson (a champion who also makes a great YouTube channel) himself.


Have you been frustrated seeing Scrabble games using words that seem barely English? This list attempts to fix that.
