OFFICIAL WORD LIST
The Contest Center's Official Word List is still available
for only $12, including postage and handling (higher outside the U.S.).
For many Inner Circle contests you can save hours of time by using
the Word List instead of the dictionary.
There is no uncertainty about which words are valid.
The Word List contains every valid word, and no invalid words,
all arranged by word length and listed alphabetically in large clear type.
The Merriam-Webster company has issued a new dictionary.
Once the stocks of the old dictionary have sold out in the stores,
you will not be able to obtain them.
You will need to have the Contest Center Official Word List
in order to compete in Inner Circle, Try Again, and any other contests
that used to require the dictionary.
HOW TO WIN
The How To Win booklet is still available for only $6, which
includes postage and handling (higher overseas).
It is full of valuable tips on how to win the Contest Center tournaments
such as One on One, Win A Million and Tournament of Riches.
Even experienced players will find techniques to improve their scores.
