There a two "official" dictionaries. One is the Player's Edition and the other is the real one that's used in tournaments. The latter has all the non-PC words. You can only order one if you join the official Scrabble organization and pay dues. However, you can find the list off words on the internet. The Player's Edition was created to put in the hands of kids. The company was trying to gain fans and, therefore, sell more units. To me, it's deceptive marketing to use "Official" in the Player's edition -- there's nothing official about it.
