=== Printing Errors ===
An early version of the New Words Self-Print Edition included deleted words among the lists of words of two to eight letters; it was replaced after [[Steven Alexander]] reported the issue on 2019-01-07. This version was then replaced on 2019-01-08, after [[Marlon Hill]] noticed extraneous words out of sequence at the end of the main list.

== Effective Date ==

The [[Advisory Board]] has determined that this edition will take effect on
March 1, 2019.

== History ==

As soon as [[OTCWL2016]] went to press, the [[Dictionary Committee]] began
reviewing the longer words that had been proposed for inclusion in that edition,
but omitted due to time constraints.

This edition includes new words from three sources:
* [[OSPD6]]
* [[MWCD]] (online edition)
* the Canadian Oxford Dictionary (2nd edition), primarily for words of up to 10 letters and their inflections and root forms.

86 previously acceptable words were nominated for review; 12 of them were removed when no evidence was found supporting their original addition.

== Changes ==

This edition includes 3,385 new words: 2 two-letter words, 1 three-letter word, 4 four-letter words, 23 five-letter words, 49 six-letter words, 65 seven-letter words, 88 eight-letter words, 181 nine-letter words, 1263 ten-letter words, 840 eleven-letter words, 415 twelve-letter words, 200 thirteen-letter words, 147 fourteen-letter words, and 107 fifteen-letter words. Complete lists
of new words and definitions can be found in [{{SERVER}}/cgi-bin/services.pl Member Services].

The following 12 words were deleted:
CAZHER CAZHEST DREKKISH HALIOTES HALIOTISES INAPTER INAPTEST RABIESES
SAPIDER SAPIDEST SUETIER SUETIEST.
