I Can Finally beat my Mom in Scrabble

You Can Now Kick Your Mom’s Butt In Scrabble Using “Bromance” And “Selfie”

The Scrabble dictionary has remained untouched for nearly a decade, but these new words are able to be put to use immediately.

If you’re sitting at a Scrabble game after dinner and somebody plays the word selfie and somebody challenges that as not a real word, well guess what? It is.

Pour yourself a mojito, stick on your favorite mixtape… and chillax.

 

Here are some of the new Scrabble words, thanks to Time. Memorize them!
