Now You Can Use The Word ‘Selfie’ in Scrabble

Those words, among more than 5,000 others, are included in the Fifth Edition of The Official SCRABBLE Player’s Dictionary, put out by American dictionary behemoth Merriam-Webster.

In the end, "te" will end up being the most useful addition for Scrabble players. I wonder if Words With Friends will update their lexicon.
