          Game #9819835. My opponent played "QUEAN." The Lex dictionary says it is NOT a word, yet it gave my opponent points. I played for years and recently returned - does Lex still have "Challenge" games and, if so, how can I tell?

            Jackie Heyden Hi, quean is a word but was it hooked to a word that was not a word?
            Far as I know there are still challenge games

              QUEAN is definitely a valid word, I've played it loads of times and having just checked, it's showing as valid.

                Le mot addenda en français peut s'écrire addendas avec un S au pluriel.
                The plural of the word addenda can be addendas.
                Thank you

                @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.

                    @flea10009 It's generally hyphenated; I think that's why it's not accepted.

                      I tried to use the word “onesies” and it was not accepted.

                      onesie is a common term for a one-piece short-all worn by babies… it’s like a tee-shirt with snaps at the bottom.

                      From Google:

                      an infant's one-piece close-fitting lightweight garment, usually having sleeves but leaving the legs uncovered and fastening with snaps at the crotch.

                        @ruth-goodman depends on dictionary you use...google is not an approved scrabble source...even if onesies is a word 😊

                              @betterlate1-0 Ruth didn't say it was UK. She didn't specify so I merely let her know it can be played in the UK version.

                                @ruth-goodman I'm pretty sure that the Lexulous admins do not modify the accepted word lists. There is a committee somewhere that does that... And there are indeed many missing/erroneous words!

                                  @zaph, as well as words that should not be there by the 'rules' of SOWPODS and TWL98+. One of many examples: TRANQ. Two Acronyms long accepted in lists which "claim" they have no acronyms are JATO and RATO. The rejection of words of the same nature is what makes these accepted "words" a problem for me. -- (and those are only examples....)

                                          @marc-krizack

                                          Interestingly, Collins English Dictionary seems to be happy with 'paydirt' whilst Merriam-Webster prefers 'pay dirt'.

                                          Do we stick with the original definition of a word or go with the current usage that it has evolved into over time? My preference, for the purposes of playing Scrabble, would be to allow both.

                                          Your thoughts?
