            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.

                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.

                          @betterlate1 It's not. See my post above.

                            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.

                                      @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.
