@Pat-Klemmensen USA Official Players Dictionary (OSPD) vax not acceptable all other words are
-
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.

Re: Recommend addition/removal of words
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.
-
@James-Lafargue I could not find it in the official Scrabble dictionary
-
salinate is a word..just not sure if it is here
-
@betterlate1 It's not. See my post above.
-
-
@NOthing It is a word..guessing not good here..and your response about the type game they play..I meant when not playing and in lobby waiting to choose a game would be nice to see what dictionary..thanks for both responses though I appreciate them
-
@betterlate1 Yes, it's certainly a word and I never said otherwise. It's just not in the word list. The app developers don't determine that so I'm pretty sure you're barking up the wrong tree.
-
@NOthing 'Besides'? Do you mean 'decides'? No, they don't set the lexicon, but they can at least provide definitions of words or explanations of the lack thereof.
Anyway, I take it back. I can see now how DAMNEST can be a noun, even though it's an incorrect spelling of DAMNEDEST.
-
@Harold-Rennett I realized later that DAMNEDEST can be a noun. I still protest the misspelling of the word as DAMNEST as an acceptable word in Scrabble games. That's just BS.

rking up the wrong I am thinking whatever I say you will debate or argue it. Have a great day.

@pruesarn said in Recommend addition/removal of words:
In the UK dictionary, please add the word UGLI, it is a well-known word for a fruit, a cross between a tangerine, a grapefruit and an orange.
Also I think ONSITE should be included.
-
@James-Lafargue Any word has to be in the Official scrabble players book or whatever they use.
-
@Roslyn-Irvine Pix is acceptable as is tix but not vaxx or vax. Official Scrabble Players (OSPD) dictionary is what is used
