Welcome to Purple Pawn, covering games played around the world by billions of people every day.
For those who were hoping for another Q-word option, I’m sorry to report that it’s “GEOCACHE” that will be the fan-contributed word added to the new edition of Merriam-Webster’s Official Scrabble Players Dictionary. Thousands of other words are also being added this summer, however “GEOCACHE” is eligible for official tournament play in the United States and Canada immediately. Hasbro announced the addition after collecting fan input for 16 nominated words via Facebook.
In terms of gameplay, “GEOCACHE” is an interesting word to be selected. It’s an eight-letter word (as a reminder, players only hold seven letter-tiles at a time) but is worth only 16 points. Also to play it, a person will need both of the available “C”s.
