    @Pangloss said in Lexulous:

    I'd be curious to know when people started playing this game. I remember playing when it was called scrabulous and it was the same format as the famous board game. Probably 2007-08 on the website.
    Because of copyright infringement they had to revamp the board and I'll just say they really got it just right. The size of the board and the letter distribution and the location of the increase scoring squares is all great. This is definitely the best word game out there. If anybody replies please mention the year that you joined and any other comments you wish to share.

    "Joined in the Scrabulous days too! Started back in 2007, and I totally agree—nothing quite compares. They nailed the board design and letter balance even after the revamp. This game is hands down the best for word lovers!"

    Did you know that Aragonese, also known as the Romance language, is native to the Pyrenees valleys of Aragon, Spain? Aragon is a landlocked region in northeastern Spain and it's bisected by the Ebro River, with the Pyrenees Mountains in its north. Aragon's primary source of energy is hydroelectricity, generated by the damming of the Ebro River and its northern affluents in Huesca.

    Like many of Spain's other regions, Aragon has a unique cuisine and rich gastronomic heritage. It’s delicacies include thick stews, packed with both meat and vegetables, asparagus from the banks of the River Ebro, the onions from Fuentes and boiled borage leaves.
    Fiestas del Pilar, Zaragoza and Carnival Bielsa are some of the noted festivals of Aragon, Spain.

    Hope you like these amazing facts about Aragonese people, people of Aragone if you want to share some more interesting facts about your place, please comment below.

    The introduction to the interesting information about Spain being presented after the common Spanish greeting 'Ola' is a great way to engage the audience. The details about Aragon, including its unique language, cuisine, festivals, and natural attractions, provide a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Spain. The invitation to share more interesting facts about other regions of Spain also adds to the interactive nature of the presentation. Overall, this is an informative and engaging way to learn more about the country.

    @mistertoad my guess would be that English (or maybe "english") is acceptable as a word in certain games (in billiards one can "put some english" on a shot). Similarly, graphic artists use india ink, and when guests come over I bring out the good china: turning proper nouns into common ones! (of course I do still frequently see words being accept in the game when I had assumed they would be disallowed because of capitalization issues...)

    @mapmakere said in Unusual / interesting words found from lex:

    @anexparrot 'evite' is a go, but not 'evote'. UK dictionary. On checking tho, I see the former does not mean an invitation rec'd by email. 🙂

    Yes, I've seen evite. Eviting is good in both UK and US as is evited!

    @pangloss yes, the Basque language is fascinating! I don't know a lot about it but maybe I could propose that we call it one of the "purest" rather than the "oldest" languages? In other words, it must certainly have evolved over the millennia, but without much influence from other languages. It doesn't seem likely that it would be unchanged from the time of Neanderthal humans. (AFAIK it's unproven whether Neanderthals had a spoken language...)

  • I do like the interesting facts about Assam!

    @waterman1 quite a coincidence indeed! I do see Djin played in here pretty often though, along with the variants Djinn, jin, jinn, jinni, etc. (and probably more). I suppose "genie" could be considered an offshoot...
