From The Bibliophile's Attic

If I've noticed one thing over time it's that people who enjoy books tend to also enjoy playing word games. Crossword puzzles, scrambles, fill-ins, and most recognizably Scrabble and its newer rival Words With Friends bring hours of delight to the linguistically minded the world over. With this feature I plan to help you up your game, and your vocabulary, by highlighting words from The Official Scrabble Players Dictionary Fourth Edition that you don't see every day and might not come to mind right away while playing.

Today's word is worth 9 points (10 points for the plural)
