Scrabble just added 300 words to its official dictionary for the first time in four years.

And one of those 300 words is the holy grail of Scrabble: A word that uses the letter Q without a U after it. The word is qapik, and it’s a coin in Azerbaijan.

Scrabble also added a couple of new two-letter words, which can also be really useful when you’re playing. Those words are “ok” and “ew.”

Some other words they added that use valuable letters like z, q, x, and j are: Zen , yowza, bizjet, emoji, zomboid and aquafaba.

And finally, they added some words to “modernize” the game, like facepalm, bestie, sheeple, puggle, hivemind and twerk.

The NHL’s Philadelphia Flyers unveiled their mascot Gritty yesterday, and the reaction broke the internet.

Gritty looks like the Muppet Animal, after a weekend bender. Googly eyes, huge beard and bad teeth.

This is the first Flyers mascot since 1976.
