Collins Scrabble Word List has added 6,500 new words to its dictionary for the players.
According to its publisher, the words include slang terms used on social media websites and texts like lolz, obvs, onesie, along with twerking, emoji, bezzy and ridic (short for ridiculous), the BBC reported.
Word quinzhee, a term used for a shelter made by hollowing out a pile of settled snow, scores 29 Scrabble points, and has become one the highest scoring new entries.
In the technological context, words added include facetime, hashtag, and sexting, while exclamations such as augh, blech, eew, grr, waah and yeesh can also be used now.
The board game's dictionary has been updated for the first time since 2011, and includes words from Australia, Canada, South Africa, the UK and the US in a single list.
Helen Newstead, head of language content at Collins, said that since people were now using "slang in social media posts, tweets, blogs, comments, text messages, there's a host of evidence for informal varieties of English that simply didn't exist before.
