      Why are you using words from a foreign country. Example, Favala is not an english word. That is not fair.

        @Carolyn-Leverich-Atkinson Favala is not valid, in which puzzle number did you find this acceptable?

            The word PRIMI is not english. It is Italian, should not be in the English puzzle.

                  Pix is acceptable (for pictures), but vax is not acceptable for vaccine, not tix for tickets. This is not consistent.

                        @Carolyn-Leverich-Atkinson are you playing 'regular' games, or 'challenge' games? in a 'challenge' game, you can play whatever you have, and if the opponent doesn't question it, the game won't either.

                                How about actual definitions for suspect words. For instance, I was hit in a game with DAMNESTS, suggesting there is such a noun as DAMNEST. WHAT THE HELL IS A DAMNEST??? There is no definition for this word!

                                  Almost all of the words that are valid in Lexulous are in the Official Scrabble Players Dictionary, 5th edition. DAMNEST is an alternate spelling of DAMNDEST, meaning "the utmost", as in "He did his damndest to get over that barrier." Of course, there's also a big Internet out there to find definitions with.

                                    Lexulous is not allowing "salinate" but it is recognized by all online dictionaries.

                                      I know, but it's an adjective. Adjectives don't have plurals, that I've ever heard about.

                                        @Paulo-Pereira Understand that the app developers don't define/determine word lists. There are associations who determine that. I often see people blaming these guys for words they don't like, but they have nothing to do with that information.
