There's a new Scrabble dictionary out. It includes 'words' like 'lolz' and 'obvs.'

For shizzle?

The BBC reports that a new Scrabble dictionary includes slang terms like "lolz," "obvs," and, yes, "shizzle." The publishers of Collins Scrabble Word List, which includes words from the U.K., the U.S., and Australia, say the update reflects how "informal English" has become more prevalent in the way we communicate through social media and text messages.

This means, according to them, that you can now score a grand total of 15 points on the non-word "thanx" and 18 points on "cazh" (for casual).
