Scrabble's acceptable words include non-English words and other BS. It's about as far from a viable "word list" as you can get.

it's just a bunch of approved letter sequences.

hell, there was Kiwi guy who won French Scrabble. Doesn't speak or know any French, just memorised the book.

The guy who won the French Scrabble World Championships as a non-french speaker was not an American. His name is Nigel Richards and he's a New Zealander who now calls Malaysia his home.

Entirely true that the Scrabble word list is just like a collection of valid trading cards, Nigel Richards just collected them all.
