Originally published in 1901 as Chambers Twentieth Century Dictionary, the dictionary is widely used by British crossword solvers and setters, and by Scrabble players. It contains many more dialectal variants and archaic words than its rivals, and is noted for its occasional wryly humorous definitions, such as "a cake, long in shape but short in duration", for "éclair".
