Which cheat sheet should I use for Scrabble tournaments?

If you play in North American tournaments (US or Canada), use the TWL cheat sheet. For international tournaments (UK, Australia, and most other countries), use the SOWPODS cheat sheet.

Can I use these cheat sheets during a game?

In official tournament play, you cannot reference word lists during the game. These sheets are for study and practice between games. For casual home games, house rules apply — many players allow reference materials.
