OFFICIAL WORD LIST
The Contest Center's Official Word List is still available
for only $12, including postage and handling.
(The price is the same in Canada and Mexico. It is $15 overseas.)
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.
You need the Contest Center Official Word List in order to play
the WORD WELTER tournament, and for most Inner Circle contests.
If you do not have the Word List yet, be sure to order it early so that you
will have ample time to work on your WORD WELTER and Inner Circle puzzles.
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.
