First of all I agree with Tiger-- the word list is made by some committee somewhere that has NO affiliation with Lex.
Secondly before complaining you guys might want to look in more dictionaries!
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/wakanda
Noun: a supernatural force similar to mana believed by the Sioux to pervade animate and inanimate objects in varying degrees sometimes giving them extraordinary powers and usually assumed to be the cause of extraordinary happenings
@jrp32 Interesting! Wikipedia says "it is dialect to the eye, rather than to the ear."

@roymccoy I am annoying and you just proved why. You do not like the truth or facts. You find it fine that are rude and crude and apparently bully others to get your way. I point it out you censor me. Have a good day
Better, I don't really know Roy, but he doesn't seem like a bully to me.
And you'll probably take this the wrong way, but you would be doing yourself a favor if you thought about and edited your sentences before posting. Like "You find it fine that are rude and crude" -- what was that supposed to mean?
As for the plus sign in the middle of the board, do you people sit and stare at it? Star or plus sign? No big deal to me!
Anybody else want them to get new avatars?
I made a poll:

@mapmakere said in Unusual / interesting words found from lex:
@anexparrot 'evite' is a go, but not 'evote'. UK dictionary. On checking tho, I see the former does not mean an invitation rec'd by email.
Yes, I've seen evite. Eviting is good in both UK and US as is evited!
What about the people who like glacially slow conversations? One sentence every 11 months?
@mapmakere LOL, it's a reference to 'a non-existent species of parrot, called a "Norwegian Blue".' Or rather an ex-non-existent one. Youtube
Is it bad form to reply to myself? LOL
I was thinking about this, and it turns out that the reason my relative couldn't see my game posted was because of my formula. I didn't realize it works that way now.
My last opponent sat (stopped playing and made me wait) because I guessed the word 'guttier'.
How about requiring people to at least move tiles around within 4 minutes before forcing a resign?
Or if you want to be more 'nice' you could pop up a box to the opponent asking if they want to end the game or allow more time, in case they are playing a friend who has a good reason for being AFK!
@betterlate1-0 said in acceptable words:
@vivviv lot of words are words, but up to you to discriminate and use or not.
I'm going to try and translate for better: there are a lot of potentially offensive words that are valid, it's up to the player to decide whether you're okay with playing them!
(I don't know about you guys but I never play the N word or the C word.)
@judy-cooper I agree that 2 weeks is pretty long. Perhaps they could set it up so both players could click on timeout options? Or the person setting the game chooses?
@dan Of course, you're right, but I just thought since they had made a change to the game recently, I would mention it.
I played a live game from my phone for the 1st time the other day, and I noticed something a bit weird: when I tried to 'host' a live game, I think I was instantly matched with somebody else who had the same 'time controls.' (And I think they were a website player.)
Has this happened to anybody else? I encountered the two games at once bug, and the person in the game that got deleted censored me, presumably because they thought I was just sitting to wait for timeout.
Please fix this annoying bug!
@dan I don't play many fast games these days, but I too would like to be able to disable the new animation! 
@thatguythere202 I usually play these "email games" via the website and have the same issue...
This is a good idea. I usually reload the games page to see if it's my turn, but it would be much nicer if we didn't have to log back in so often and this notification idea was implemented.

@anexparrot This one's kinda silly and not particularly interesting. Just a funny inconsistency I guess.
The other day I was checking if this was valid. Somewhat surprisingly, it's not:
For a laugh, I then went on to check this one. Sure enough, it's valid:
I LOL'ed-- don't think i've ever seen butthead played!
I was just examining my last game and the bot said we missed:
"earthpea" - I've never heard this, but apparently it's an 'American hogpeanut'
"veejay" - I didn't realize this was valid. Isn't it kinda funny that veejays were probably only common from the 1980s until the late 90s?
Anybody else have interesting lex words to share?

It would be really nice if we could censor in the forum too.
Think I've mentioned this before, but that is possible.

Thanks, Dan. I had just tried to block somebody and there wasn't that option, but I had forgotten I was not logged into the forum!
