Revision as of 05:33, 8 March 2010

This page lists various unofficial records achived in competitive SCRABBLE® play in North America and overseas.

The records in each category are classified further based on the (environment tournament or club) and by the dictionary used (OTCWL or SOWPODS, ignoring the specific edition).

In the words listed, lowercase letters stand for blanks and paranthesised letters stand for tiles already on the board. An asterisk (*) means that the word is a phony or that the score is known to include phonies. An octothorp (#) means that the word is acceptable in SOWPODS but not in OTCWL.
