Thanks to Duke for heretofore keeping this list up. Here only words for SCWC and ASCWC have been updated since 2019...

This word list gives most of the words that have appeared in either SCWC (through competition 381) or ASCWC (through competition 264), and the requirements in Word Games 1-25 (at the bottom). I heartily encourage, if not outright beseech, future moderators to update and re-post this.
