The 2014 word list is the third of a series of five original lists that will be released in mid-May of future competition years. The only source used for pronunciations and definitions used in competitions will be the Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary, Eleventh Edition. Words must have identical spellings in both this word list and the dictionary in order to be used in competition. If a discrepancy appears, words that do not match will not be used in competition. Every effort was made to select only words which are appropriate for school use.
