How many Scrabble words are there?

It depends on the dictionary

The number of Scrabble words depends on the dictionary you’re using as a reference. The two main word lists used are TWL (Tournament Word List) for North American players, and SOWPODS (now called Collins Scrabble Words or CSW for short) for international players.

As of 2023, the TWL has over 192,000 valid words, while Collins Scrabble Words list has over 279,000 words. These lists are updated periodically to include new words, so the exact numbers can change with each new edition that is released.
