Obvs, new Scrabble word list should provide some lolz

ENGLAND: Lolz, shizzle, and cakehole are among 6,500 words added to the existing quarter of a million in the latest Collins Scrabble word list.

Slang words used on social media, in texts, and on the street are now available to fans of the traditional word game seeking to outplay their opponents. These include obvs (obviously), lolz (laughs), cakehole (mouth), and dench (excellent).

The new word list also recognises the role technology continues to play in our lives with the addition of facetime, hashtag, tweep, and sexting. This is the first update to the list since 2011.
