Which do you prefer? Scrabble, with words such as Zee, Ess, and Qat, or a standard college dictionary? I wish I had a definitive side here, but I go back and forth. I will say that the Deluxe version is the only way to play.

Scrabble was ruined when proper nouns were allowed to be used. Spoilt the game in my opinion! I prefer to go back and fifth.

i'd go for a standard collegiate dictionary.. i like Merriam-Webster because it's standard, convenient (for me) and it gives the etymology of a word.. like the wiktionary, too.. but personally, i use the one-look dictionary, when what im looking is'nt found in merriam, it offers other sources..

I alway prefer the standard dictionary of Merriam-Webster. Some of the words in the scrabble dictionary are just too weird and I don't think they exist and functional. I wish they review some of the words there.
