Out-of-Place Words in Webster's 2nd

Authors

William Sunners

Abstract

For almost fifty years Webster's New International Dictionary of the English Language, Second Edition, Unabridged, has been the official authority in most word-building puzzle contests. This huge tome of 2987 pages is a veritable storehouse of information; the edition I own and treasure is actually an encyclopedia. My sympathetic wife first purchased it in 1933 from an unemployed father, and I paid for it in monthly installments. Those regular payments helped provide for some of his physical needs for a time, while the book's contents have nourished my mind all these years.
