Would you like to become familiar with

NASPA's new NWL23 words?

     OK! The following slide shows can do that for you:

          NWL new 3's and 4's

          NWL new FIVES

          NWL new SIXES

          NWL new SEVENS

          NWL new EIGHTS


Hey, it's easy to play in the occasional Word Game Players Organization

(WGPO) tournament, too!

Yes you have to be a WGPO member, but membership is free!

“But they use a different word list!”  

Yes, it's called WOW24 and it's not THAT much different:

1)     It does include almost all of the slurs that were eliminated from NWL20

2)     It does not include most of the strange new plurals like

ROUXES, FECESES, COVIDS, etc.

So, if your word seems like it might be insulting, play it!

If your opponent plays a word with a weird plural, challenge it!


How can I learn to keep that straight?

The following slide shows are fun and could really help:

          NWL new 3's and 4's with WGPO WOW24 exclusions

NWL new Fives with WGPO WOW24 exclusions

NWL new Sixes with WGPO WOW24 exclusions

NWL new Sevens with WGPO WOW24 exclusions

NWL new Eights with WGPO WOW24 exclusions
