@sparks
Thanks for the quick reply. Here is my Lexulous list. I cannot use 'CH'! -
As Kenneth Williams said in 'Carry On Cleo':
"Infamy! Infamy! They've all got it in for me!" -
@mistertoad
I am happy to report that 'CH' has now returned to my list. Strange! -
@mistertoad Ch Ch Ch Ch Changes....

@roslyn-irvine Pix has been used for years, vax is not widely used and tix is internet shortcut not commonly used. Possibility exists that as "words" are more widely used next time the dictionary updates they would include them

@haftoplay trump is the card that beats all others..and nazi is no longer capitalized because no Nazi is a good nazi.
-
@mistertoad, i use CH all of the time.

@mistertoad CH is in the UK list but not the US.

@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 -
@jsm a Jew is not to be confused with jew
-
@zoso-thezephead jew is intended to be offensive
-
@mapmakere - "CH is in the UK list but not the US"
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. -
@embraceableewe, how about OFAY? Look it up. Or use, https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/ofay

@mistertoad That looks like the American dictionary two-letter word list: no ZO
