Question 3

Are these words valid for Scrabble?

Accepted Answer

Most standard words on this list are valid in Scrabble, but the official Scrabble word list (TWL for North America, SOWPODS for international play) is the authoritative source. Rare or archaic words marked as Hard difficulty may or may not be accepted depending on which ruleset you use.

Question 4

What does the difficulty rating mean?

Accepted Answer

Easy words are common everyday vocabulary most adult speakers know well. Medium words are less frequent but widely understood in their contexts. Hard words are uncommon, specialized, or archaic — useful for advanced vocabulary study or competitive Scrabble.

Question 5

What is the difference between vain, vile, and void?

Accepted Answer

Vain has two senses: having an excessively high opinion of oneself, and producing no result ('a vain attempt'). Vile means extremely unpleasant or morally bad — stronger and more emotional than simply 'bad.' Void means completely empty as a noun, or legally invalid as an adjective — 'null and void' is the standard legal phrase. All three are easy-difficulty V adjectives with distinct, precise meanings.
