      Can I find which dictionaries Lexulous uses? I assume not Collins Scrabble as a few new words aren't allowed (FY etc). Also what is the distribution of letters in the 89?

        Supposedly Lexulous uses the OSPD; however, there are words I've been able to use in both Scrabble and WWF (TEJ, ESQ, SEQ, etc.) that aren't allowed in Lexulous. I know there are updates to the OSPD, but based on my own experience playing it seems like the developers aren't updating Lexulous' dictionary accordingly.

          Lexulous uses two dictionaries for games in English - "UK" and "US" which I believe are respectively OSPD, and OTCWL (or simply, TWL). TWL has fewer words.

            @David-Rofulowitz Yeah I certainly can't play the new words Collins Scrabble Dictionary added earlier this year (OK, ZE, EW, QIN etc......) I still can't find out what the letter distribution is for Lexulous......(Collins doesnt include TEJ ESQ or SEQ!)

                Ok I see what teh letter distribution is. Another strange thing is, all the new words (ZE, OK, NY etc etc) which Collins added this year are OK if youre playing the robot, but not if you're playing a person!

                  @Mick-Webster It depends on what game dictionary is selected.
