Is it really OK to use 'OK' in Scrabble? 22 new words are added to the game including bae, fleek, ew and mansplaining

Scrabble has added 22 new words to its official vocabulary list - but do you know what all of them mean?

Embracing new vocab and slang for the modern-day player, Scrabble now permits words including 'hench', feminist expressions such as 'manspreading', non-binary terms such as 'agender' and political slang such as 'remainer'.

Collins has compiled the list of new words based from trends and spikes in word usage.

The current rules of the board game state that words are not allowed to be used if they are abbreviations, prefixes, or if they require a hyphen or an apostrophe. As well as "any word that required the use of a capital letter", however the word "OK" has now passed the test.

The aim of the game to get the most points by using long-lettered words, but Scrabble has included three new words containing three letters or less in its list.

Some Twitter users have shared their opinions on the additions:
