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), and whether phonies were accepted or not (when applicable).
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 includes phonies. An octothorp (#) means that the word is acceptable in SOWPODS but not in OTCWL.
