NSWL2023

The NASPA School Word List (2023 edition), NSWL2023, was edited by the NASPA Dictionary Committee in 2023 and is effective as of February 29, 2024. It replaces NSWL2020.

Like its predecessors, it consists of those words that are acceptable in the regular NASPA Word List (NWL) that are considered appropriate for school use.
