Scrabble, the classic game for lovers of wordplay, has reportedly revealed that it would allow fans to choose the next word for inclusion in The Official Scrabble Players Dictionary, which would make this its first update in nine years.

7. Staycation
8. Bitcoin
9. Ermahgerd
10. Totes
11. Awesomesauce
