'Scrabble' adds 300 new words

Scrabble players, get ready for more options to get that triple letter score.

Merriam-Webster released the sixth edition of the Official Scrabble Players Dictionary, adding long-awaited two-letter words like "ok" and "ew."

In total, more than 300 new words are being added, like getting rid of that pesky "z" tile by playing the word "bizjet," meaning a small plane used for business.
