The NASPA School Word List (2020 edition), NSWL2020, was edited by the NASPA Dictionary Committee in 2020, and incorporates changes made to the corresponding NWL2020 lexicon. Like its predecessors, it consists of those words that are acceptable in the regular NASPA Word List (NWL) that are considered appropriate for school use.

Availability

It will be available to NASPA members for electronic study and tournament adjudication purposes in the NASPA Zyzzyva program, starting with version 3.2.3. School SCRABBLE competitors may apply for a complimentary season membership to gain access to this tool.

It is also available for personal use as a free download (password required) through NASPA Member Services.
