Onya, Scrabble.

Word nerds can now officially use Australian English's more colourful words to rake up high scores.

Mattel, the company that distributes the popular board game, unveiled its highly-anticipated Australian edition of Scrabble on Thursday.

"It's a fun twist on the classic game of Scrabble," the company's marketing manager Jacinta Whitehead said. "It allows you to use Aussie slang words on the board and you actually get bonus points for every slang word you use with your tiles."
