we have chatted of course. it's just that there does not seem to be a way for him to "see" two of our games that I can see, in which it is his turn.

I think that I can help. Some of the new words are in my post entitled "Scrabble dictionary adds hundreds of words - November 16, 2022".

You can find my post in the Feature Requests because I naturally hope that Lexulous will make sure that we can use them in our games.

Well, I guess so. The "Play" box is red; the strength slider indicates what the word's strength would be if the word were actually valid. So there is no conflict.
thanks,

I also like how people can't suddenly pm you at any time, including after the game. Sometimes people were abusive and the box would suddenly pop up in your face without warning, making it hard to avoid. I'm not saying private chat shouldn't be brought back, but perhaps limit it to those on your friend list in future (assuming that's fixed properly first). I guess there is private chat in a way, as you can carry on the convo with your opponent even after the game has ended which is neat.
