@LynnStary Puzzle scoring is not the same as lexulous

The long period that users can remain inactive is very frustrating. Please reduce it as promised some time ago. In May. Even 1 week is too long.

@Mick-Webster It depends on what game dictionary is selected.

@Pangloss Thank you - that's what I thought.

The Handicap Game Facility would only be appropriate when the two players know each other and hence their relative strengths. It would be particularly useful for helping keen players to introduce their children (or indeed their own parents!) to the game.

Lyme disease-proper noun.

I feel the same way but fact is not every word has the definition we prefer or are used to. Jew is not the same as jew. jew is acceptable in the dictionary..I might not like it but it is how it is. nazi is also good. I would rather it went back to a proper noun so not used..but alas, it is good. Just keep in mind not every word means what we think it does. I also see 2 other answers to your question but I do not have access to those responses. Hope I am not repeating them

@friendana only other thought I have is maybe it sounds sort of similar to problem I have 4/5 names on my friends list that do not exist, I did not put there and I cant remove..they have been there 3 or 4 yrs maybe same thing..like ghosts. that is about all i can say..so suggest you just ignore them ..sorry I know it is more than annoying

Assuming 60 for 7 letters more if use all letters (depending on location.)Depending on position of the word, could be more (like double letter score or some such)

In my experience, always a move, even with one letter.

@moindoline Lots of words in English that doesn't add an S for plural are allowed with an S: deers algas
And also words that mean something that isn't countable so has no plural.
