It's official, ergo sans combat Scrabble.......2007-10-18
There's no more guessing with the Official Scrabble Players Dictionary. If it's in there, you are good to go. No more bickering resulting in combat Scrabble; no more second-guessing whether the word 'fits' the parameters of the rules - if the word you laid down in tiles is in black and white between the covers of this book, you have the points. Period. And you may be surprised at what is between the covers...it makes for great reading on the sly...
Memorize, memorize!
No more Scrabble squabbles!.......2007-10-06
Loving the Scrabble dictionary. Now there's no more sheepish looking around for a "layman's" dictionary while playing Scrabble, and many official Scrabble words are not in the regular dictionary. And no more Scrabble squabbles! This official version puts to rest any questioning looks from across the board. Who new "qat" was a word? And having learned it prior to a recent game, "qat" helped us build the board north when it was going hopelessly south. I'm having fun learning new Q, J, X and Z words for those formerly heart-sinking moments nearing the end of the game and drawing one of them. A great gift for Scrabble lovers. Nice big print, user-friendly, easy to carry to any game. With all the interest in keeping the brain healthy and sharp as we age, learning new Scrabble words and playing games and puzzles help the brain to stay agile and functional. Who knew Scrabble and this dictionary were actually good for your health!! I will be getting another to give to a friend as a gift. You simply can't play Scrabble without it!
Be Prepared to meet the Challenges.......2007-10-01
With each new volume the avid scrabble player becomes more adept to meet the challenges of intercultural usages of words, making the competition involved in word building, more exciting and satisfying.
Thank you for a great and informative volume.
The Official Scrabble Players Dictionary.......2007-09-06
I have enjoyed my book. It has increased my game. The book is in fine condition.
I'm sorry, but Qwerty is NOT a word........2007-09-06
I'm sorry, but Qwerty is NOT a word. Neither is "Herstory" or a good number of other stoopid werds in this aggravating book that - unfortunately - somehow got isself endorsed by Scrabble officials. The definitions are slim and in many cases, nonexistent. I thought Scrabble was supposed to be played in English? well, there's lots of foreign words in here too. "Barneys"?!?! That's a name. Furthermore, we've been playing Super Scrabble (twice the scores, twice the tiles, and twice the time - but BIG fun), and another aggravating "feature" is that this book does not contain any words longer than 8 characters - so you can fuggeddabout adding onto "Further" to make "Furthermore" - cause its not in here! This book gives me an Incredulity (11 letters - not in there!) socre of 75% and an Aggravation (also 11 letters - and not in there either!) score of 99%. Every time we play I want to do a Farenheit 451 on the damn thang!!!!

Excellent Dictionary.......2007-10-18
Just what I needed for my desk at work. It's hard bound so it will handle a lot of use.
surely you are joking.......2007-09-18
I ordered the item in your communication except with a CD included. The CD never showed up. You then sent a replacement with exactly the same result. After I called Amazon I was informed that you were out of the advertised item. I was then informed via email, to which no reply was allowed, twice, that I would be charged for the item and its replacement I can see that we will be having a battle royal with the credit card company as there is no way on God's green earth that I will pay anything for such absolutely lousy customer service.

Great resource of advanced ESL learners.......2007-08-09
Since I am an international student studying in the United States, my perspective is slightly different from those of other reviewers. If you are studying for standardized tests such as SAT or GRE, this is the ultimate authority you should refer to whenever you feel unsure on the exact meaning of vocabularies you encounter in past administrated tests. If you practice on questions on analogy for awhile, for example, you would discover that the ETS (Educational Testing Services), the maker of GRE and SAT, also relies intensively, although not thoroughly, on Merriam-Webster Collegiate Dictionary definitions to design their questions. Only by referring to the MW can you truly understand why certain answer choice is correct, while others are not.
As a bonus, you also have exclusive rights to send inquires on difficult words to MW resourceful editors, a service I find extremely helpful. Although responses are slow (because of, surprisingly, numerous projects in Merriam-Webster Corporation), you will generally receive the most authoritative answers from the brightest people on the planet. As an ESL learner, I am deeply obsessed with the flexibility, inherent logic, and beauty of English language; all introduced by this enlightening tome.
A worthwhile purchase.......2007-08-04
I have been using this dictionary for many years. I have gone through a few editions. A couple of weeks ago I was looking for a word that this dictionary did not contain. I decided that it was time for a change. I purchased The New Oxford American Dictionary.
I found out that there are features that this dictionary has that The New Oxford American Dictionary, Second Edition does not contain. First of all, the thumb tabs are quite helpful and time saving. Next, would be the word origins, country and languages when applicable, and year that it actually became a word. Followed by the pronunciation keys and parts of speech. In some cases, they also have word variations.
The only reason that I had bought the Oxford one was because this dictionary has words missing that I feel should be included. If a larger more updated version of this becomes available, I will be happy to purchase it.
Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, 11th Edition.......2007-05-06
Excellent reference book that I use on a daily basis. Spell Check on my computer doesn't always have the answers to my horrific spelling ability. So having this reference book along with the Spell Check on my computer I can actually write an email, letter or report and impress everyone without looking like I have the worst spelling abilities this side of the Mississippi !!! LOL I should have purchased this book along time ago and now that I have I really have no idea what I did without this reference book all this time !!!

Nice dictionary!.......2007-10-17
Not a whole lot to say about a dictionary, but it's a handy size and fits the need.
Great for grade school.......2007-09-01
I bought this for grade school children. They needed a real dictionary like this one, not a kiddie dictionary. This dictionary is what I wanted. It has any word they could use at this age level, plus it will help build their skills looking up words in a dictionary (I know that sounds funny, but it's sad to see kids who are not able to use a dictionary). Great price for what you get. We also have the Collegiate Dictionary which has more words and better etymology for the really tough words or for more in depth word study.
Good product.......2007-08-13
I bought the soft cover, which costs much less than the hard cover. Great for high school and college students. But, for really esoteric words, I need the unabridge mother of dictionary. Of course, you only need that if you are taking GRE or some graduate level stupid English test that uses words normal people don't care about. In this day and age, I think we (and our children) should spend time learning about technology, instead of archaic vocabs.
Merriam-Webster Dictionary.......2007-07-25
It's an excellent dictionary & has any word I've looked for thus far. Webster is definitely living up to it's name!
Just Adequate Dictionary.......2007-05-27
The type is too small, the quality of the print poor and the pages and cover are neither well nor consistently centered. I prefer a dictionary that provides at least a brief etymology, which helps me remember the definition of a word that is new to me; there are very few entries that provide this important information. During a recent read of PD James that had several words unfamiliar or unknown to me, I was disappointed to find no entry for some and had to go to another dictionary (a Webster's Collegiate fifth edition from 1941) to find the words. Certainly better than nothing for quick "look-ups", but not more than that.

Customer Reviews:
Great.......2007-09-23
This product has helped me tremendously with my homework. I am really happy that I purchased it.
Excellent reference for Spanish classes.......2007-09-18
The Merriam-Webster paperback Spanish-English Dictionary is an excellent reference for my high school Spanish classes. I teach 1st through 3rd year Spanish and I recommend this book to all my students. Not only does it contain 80,000 words and 100,000 translations, its comprehensive treatment and vast store of various usages and phrases is invaluable to a student learning Spanish (and a teacher teaching it). The first 20-some pages explain how to best use the dictionary, and the next 40 pages are a mini-course in Spanish grammar, punctuation, and parts of speech. And at a listed price of $6.50 it is a bargain! Besides straight definitions of words, many synonyms and idioms are included. I highly recommend this dictionary to anyone needing to translate from English to Spanish or Spanish to English.
Good to keep in your backpack.......2007-09-03
This is more complete than my mini spanish-english dictionary, but less complete than some of the bigger ones that my classmates own. The beginning has some information about spanish and some practice activities, which several classmates have found helpful. Great price and reasonable size.
A Good Tool.......2007-06-19
I bought this book to help me communicate at work. I ended up actually giving it to a Spanish speaker to help her with her language acquisition. I no longer need it at work as I have a translator now but if I ever loose my translator I'll be picking up another copy. I'm sure this would be great for traveling too.
A terrific Spanish-English dictionary.......2007-06-02
This one has it all! An overview of the language structure, irregular verb conjugations, context-driven definitions, pronunciation guide, etc. I have been working to learn Spanish for the last five months using an excellent software product and this dictionary is a terrific addition. Additional vocabulary is very useful and their ideas about usage coincide with a fluent co-worker's views. Extremely useful.

In evaluating a children's dictionary, there are two test words we always check first: "e-mail" and "iguana." After all, if "e-mail" doesn't appear in a dictionary, how up-to-date can it be? And iguanas, well, what kid doesn't want to read all about this "very large tropical American lizard with a ridge of tall scales along its back"? We are happy to report that this fine dictionary is above and beyond our gold standard. Not only are there definitions for each of the test words, there are illustrations for each, as well! This 912-page illustrated dictionary is packed with great information, including world maps on the inside covers, an easy-to-use how-to guide, and a reference section with facts and maps of the continents, pictures of flags from countries around the world, U.S. presidents and vice presidents, pronunciation guides, signs and symbols, and lots more. Sandwiched between this wealth of facts and figures are 846 pages of definitions with DK's trademark crisp, clear photographs illustrating many of the words. One of the handiest features in this volume is the multicolored alphabet running down the outer edges of every single page, with the featured letter highlighted for easy reference when flipping through. So get out there and e-mail all your iguana friends about this terrific reference guide! (Ages 9 to 12) --Emilie Coulter

Customer Reviews:
Very good, worth buying.......2007-09-12
I bought this for my five year old daughter, and she loved it. I have noticed she uses it to check some of the vocabulary.
Simple: It's a children's dictionary........2007-08-27
Seriosuly. It's Merriam-Webster for kids. Has plenty fo pictures and the typical information attached to each word. It has less words than Merriam-Webster because it focuses on words that children will come across. Otherwise, it is a very thorough dictionary for children and my 7-year-old daughter loves it.
I'd recommend buying Scholastic Dictionary Of Spelling (Revised) to go with it for your child to be able to look up spellings of words. Using both of them together truly helps to improve the vocabulary of your child.
child user friendly.......2007-08-27
Just like the other reviews said, it's a good resource for kids. Do expect to need a collegiate dictionary though. We've already come across 4 words in my daughter's writing curriculm that's not included. So I'll be looking at the used pages again.
User Friendly.......2007-07-16
We bought this dictionary for our eight year old, but our whole family likes and uses this dictionary. The colored markings on the edge of the pages make it easy to get to the letter you're looking for quickly. The descriptions are complete but concise. The many colorful illistrations make this a fun book to browse through. And, so far there hasn't been a word she's needed to look up that hasn't been in this book.
Wonderful Dictionary for Children.......2007-07-13
Easy to use with quite a few great pictures. We constantly refer our son to the dictionary and he loves to look up words he is unfamiliar with.
Product Description

A great dictionary for middle schoolers.......2006-12-27
Fairly inclusive and readable print, but small enough to fit in a desk, locker or back pack. I've bought two; one for my daughter and my godson.
Not Only For High Schoolers.......2003-02-13
This was a required purchase at my son's private school. He is in 5th grade, and this dictionary has proven to be a very valuable resource. The definitions are clear and concise. This dictionary is one that can grow along with him, instead of rebuying the next age appropriate resource. I expect that he will continue to use it for many years.

Wonderful, but be aware: It's without tabs...........2007-10-09
I grew up with this dictionary- it was the only one my father (who has a Master's in English) reached for. I was excited to see it in Wal-Mart and promptly purchased one, as my family didn't have a dictionary. My husband came home and said, "Why didn't you buy it from Amazon-it would've been a lot cheaper!" I returned the first one to Wal-Mart and bought this from Amazon. It's the same thing, except it doesn't have tabs at the side like the one at Wal-Mart does. I REALLY find them useful so that I don't have to open it and go leafing through it just to get to the letter section that I would like to search through. Keep this in mind when you order. I think I would return this if it wasn't a hassle and pay the extra $ to have the tabs....

This book does NOT contain a CD-ROM........2007-09-08
After two unsuccessful attempts to get a CD-ROM with this book, I found the correct dictionary to order. It is Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, 11th Edition thumb-notched with Win/Mac CD-ROM and Online Subscription. If you search for Merriam-Webster's Dictionary, this book does not display. Amazon was very cooperative in returning both versions of this book they sent me (without any charges to return them).
Since there is another version of this book that indicates "Book Only," I made an incorrect assumption that this version had the CD-ROM. I am not really sure what the difference is between the "Book Only" version and this version.
A favourable lexicon for the parsimonius consumer.......2007-08-12
A compendium of 225,000 definitions advances itself as an uncommonly intimidating treatise but, lo, I garnered the tenacity to venture forth on an arduous quest of nigh incomprehensible magnitude. My pursuit of rhetorical erudition was both prolonged and tortuous. Indeed, I must yield that the whimsy of surrender infrequently manifested itself as an alluring courtesan of nectareous temptation. Nevertheless, my resolve was but consolidated when I observed a distention in the radius of my parlance. Indeed, I can affirm without recourse to fallacy that the juncture of my undertakings expeditiously culminated prior to the desistance of the tertiary synodic month.
This exhaustive scholastic glossary of the English idiom was most appeasing to my propensity for the conglomerative acquisition of wisdom (although Doreen has experienced sufficient discombublation as to articulate the apprehension that my manner of discourse is presently akin to that of a bovine sphincter).
A helpful refrence book that contains more than defintions.......2007-08-04
I have been using this dictionary for many years. I have gone through a few editions. There are features that this dictionary that The New Oxford American Dictionary, Second Edition does not contain. First of all, the thumb tabs are quite helpful and time saving. Next, would be the word origins, country and languages when applicable, and year that it actually became a word. Followed by the pronunciation keys and parts of speech. In some cases, they also have word variations.

Multi-use dictionary!.......2007-08-23
I am a GED teacher and needed dictionaries for my students. This one is half dictionary, half thesaurus, AND has a map section in the middle. They're big but not imposing and the maps are a bonus.
Webster's New Explorer Dictionary and Thesaurus.......2007-06-02
This dictionary is OK. Some of the explanation of the word is college level. I will not recommend for younger children, it might be good for college students.
A great thesaurus and a poor dictionary........2001-11-02
Two books in one,a perfect thesaurus with synonyms antonyms,idioms and related words,but the dictionary is quite poor.There are no usage notes, number of meanings is not impressive, especially when compared to other Websters of that size.Unique feature of this Webster is a set of beautiful maps by the editors of Britannica.If you need a good thesaurus, buy it, if you are interested in a good dictionary do not.
