In the first noteworthy revision of the Official Scrabble Players Dictionary since 2005, the updated fifth edition of the dictionary will be released on Monday, August 11, 2014.

A total of 5,000 new words - including popularly-used slang terms - will make their way into the revised edition of the Scrabble dictionary, which will add 40 pages to the official Scrabble player's book.

However, with the national Scrabble championship scheduled to be held on August 9, the new words will be announced on Monday, but will not be sanctioned for club and tournament play until December 1.

The dictionary's publisher Merriam-Webster has not yet disclosed the entire list of 5,000 words that are being added to the revised edition of the Scrabble dictionary. Nonetheless, a list of nearly 30 new words has been released by the publisher. This list includes words like 'selfie,' 'bromance,' 'buzzkill,' 'frenemy,' and 'chillax.' Some two-letter words which are being added include 'te,' 'da,' 'gi,' and 'po.'

About the addition of the new words, John Chew - the VP of the North American Scrabble Players' Association - said: "It's a big deal. This is the only game where you effect regular changes. It's like telling chess players that suddenly they can move their rooks diagonally."
