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

          I could be wrong, but it's not Lexulous who besides the words right? These are determined by certain player associations so it will depend on what list we pick right? Or does Lexulous have its own set of dictionaries?

              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.

                @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.

                    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.

                    @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.

                        Also I think ONSITE should be included.

                          @James-Lafargue Any word has to be in the Official scrabble players book or whatever they use.

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

                            @Roslyn-Irvine Pix is acceptable as is tix but not vaxx or vax. Official Scrabble Players (OSPD) dictionary is what is used

                              The two words I tried to use recently are not yet in the dictionary to use. They are valid English words. Missing words, newtonian and eunoia.

                                This is a pejorative verb that is offensive to Jewish people and, intentionally or not, infers Jewish people are swindlers.

                                  Totally agree, It used to be in OSPD. I am looking now in 3 or 4 dictionaries and see the definition that is derogatory but no longer used in OSPD. I think removing it would be great however, then you get into censorship and removal of a variety of words that I would not use in a game..so I don't normally use jew either. Have to get used to the idea some will use it and like other words, there is no need to use them

                                    It is a simple noun - a person who is Jewish is a Jew. I don't think it is inherently derogatory although used that way by some.
                                    Lots of words that are used derogatorily are in Lex (SOWPODS). I agree it feels weird to play them, but - it's a word game.

                                          @zoso-thezephead jew is not said with a capital letter because it is not the religion or the people..Hindu is a proper noun..catholic also has definitions other than the religion so it can be used . Words in scrabble dictionary do not necessarily mean what you think they mean .. I was speaking to someone else when I tried to explain. Do not know how this got to you
