Czech does not yet have an official paper book of words in the style of the OSW or OSPD. However the official Czech Scrabble Association does have a short list of two and three letter words in 7-bit format and in 8-bit format (Alternative source 1, Alternative source 2 - may now be the master copy)
Here is a more encompassing list of Czech words (7Mb) in ISO8859-2 encoding.
[Update: official list of words up to 5 letters at http://scrabble.hrejsi.cz/pravidla/slovnik.htm is now supplemented by words of 6 letters.] Also, my understanding of Czech is somewhat limited, but I think this page is saying that there is now an official wordlist (Velex) and that a demo version is available for download Also at that site are the fives and sixes supplementing the official 2-4 list. (in .arj format) - and even that appears to have a supplement. Anyone who understands Czech who would like to confirm or clarify the above, please contact me!

On some browsers, the U with a circle above it appears to look like a U with a hacek above it. However when you zoom in on the page (Control-] in Netscape) the correct character becomes visible.
