    @haftoplay trump is the card that beats all others..and nazi is no longer capitalized because no Nazi is a good nazi. 🙂

      I used the 2-letter word "CH" in the last few days. Now it is no longer in the lists. Did I miss something?

          @betterlate1-0 You are taking offence when it isn't given.
          This is the new hobby of Americans as they/you don't have anything other than first world problems to groan about.
          It is ultimately people like you, with your attitude, that makes things worse.
          Nobody that I have seen in this website is interested in discrimination at all.
          But as I have mentioned before, you are a troll, and this type of conversation is not welcome here. We play a game, we are not politicians or popes.
          If this game is too intense for you, then I really don't know what a softer option is.
          There is no two state solution in scrabble, only better play.

          @sparks No. I am Jewish and I find the verb 'jew' offensive and derogatory. I have no doubt that the person who plays it is has no intention of offending anyone. It is the word, not the player, that is offensive.

            The word TWAT should not be part of this game.

            Merriam Webster's definition of twat:
            1 slang, vulgar + offensive : a woman's sexual organs

              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.

                  Thanks - that would explain why I don't always see it in my 'Dictionary' word lists. However ...

                  @jrp32 - Does Lexulous use the Collins dictionary? This would suggest CH can be used with both of the above lists. Maybe you always play with the UK list and never with the US?

                    @mistertoad, so far as I know, lexulous uses the CSW19 (Collins Scrabble Wordlist, 19th something) which is derived from the Collins Dictionary. And yes, i always play the UK list because it is even weirder than the US list (Whether they still use the TWL98+ for the US, I don't know, but they used to).
                    When i decided that the word lists used were ridiculous and illogical and all that mattered was that the string of letters was acceptsble for play, i went for the weirdest one with the most small and non-word words like "ch" and "ze".
                    Unlike the claim about to be made, just because something is printed in a dictionary, that does not make it an English word.

                      Are we planning to ask for ALL derogatory words to be removed? How about commonly used profanity?

                      The set of words allowed in word games is normally a list of words that exist in the language, not a list of only the good and uplifting words.

                      I'm not arguing that anyone should use the verb form of "jew" in speech in polite society, but I expect all valid English words to show up in the game. That includes words that are derogatory or profane.

                      Not that it matters, but I am a capital-J Jew myself, and I've used the word in Lexulous. Not to endorse its use, but because I had the letters and it fit the game board.

                      Oversensitive political correctness is getting out of hand.

                          Just to add a bit of confusion 🙂 I have always considered the word "ofay" to mean "be familiar" with. I have been ofay with the word all my life.

                                @mistertoad No, I'm saying that the reason CH disappeared from your list was that for the game for which you supplied a screenshot you were using the American dictionary, which leaves out several words familiar from the British English dictionary, including CH and ZO.

                                  I would like to see the removal of some letters.
                                  Personally I find "V" and "C" very hard to work with.
                                  Also I struggle with more than one "I".
                                  There have been some hummings about a "snail based" (with wood inlay) word list.
                                  I've not seen this personally but I think it might be a good start at creating a new alphabet.
                                  Maybe a more organic feel. Without the rough surface of real letters and words.

                                        @sparks most have no thought to be offensive. Some do it with only that thought. This is a word site and words have meanings. Maybe you choose to ignore the meanings but others don't and that is what you need to realize. Not a new hobby of Americans it is old to anyone around the world that is interested in words

                                          I would like to see the removal of some letters.
                                          Personally I find "V" and "C" very hard to work with.
                                          Also I struggle with more than one "I".
                                          There have been some hummings about a "snail based" (with wood inlay) word list.
                                          I've not seen this personally but I think it might be a good start at creating a new alphabet.
                                          Maybe a more organic feel. Without the rough surface of real letters and words.

                                          @sparks Two i's allow for binocular vision tho. Could we have 2 instead of one? Snail eyes move independently so I don't think they have binocular vision.
