Scrabble just added 300 words to its official dictionary for the first time in four years.

And one of those 300 words is the holy grail of Scrabble: A word that uses the letter Q without a U after it. The word is qapik, and it’s a coin in Azerbaijan.

Scrabble also added a couple of new two-letter words, which can also be really useful when you’re playing. Those words are “ok” and “ew.”

Some other words they added that use valuable letters like z, q, x, and j are: Zen , yowza, bizjet, emoji, zomboid and aquafaba.

And finally, they added some words to “modernize” the game, like facepalm, bestie, sheeple, puggle, hivemind and twerk.


Weight Watchers is changing its name to WW.

They’ve adopted a new tagline: “Wellness That Works.”
