Not sure if "PASS" still is a non-confirmation, but if so it should be a toggle option under the "gear" options along with "Move Confirmation" (which is already there).

This note is just a thank you for making the BACKSPACE key act in a Lexulous manner when placing tiles instead of an OS manner.

@dan-mitchell, I think that the CSW19(Collin's Scrabble Words) is filled with contrived words and words that were originally not in SOWPODS because it claimed to forbid words by shortening, acronyms and slang and did a reasonable, if not complete, job of that. By contrived words, i mean words that are "made up" with the sole purpose of advancing play in word games. Where ZEN used to be used as an example of what were not playable words in SOWPODS, it is now a part of CSW19. ZE was recently added to CSW19 and I feel it is a just a matter of time before we see a two letter "V" word. Too many words of CSW19, show in the Collin's dictionary as "no definition
found".
I am still back with the TWL98+(and previous and successive issues of TWL --"The Word List") for US Scrabble and SOWPODS for British tournament play.

@taposi, a new one (to me) i came across the other day was in musical structure and was DECRESCENDO.

the "v2" is being whipped into shape but there are still things that do not work as expected or advertised. Two are --

1. clicking on "see more completed games" goes to stats.
2. the BACKSPACE key has no program override and respects the browser default of moving within the tab to the previous tab of that position.

@lexulous, AND, when the play button turns green, it also has a colored edge on the right, which, when clicked, shows the word-to-be-played "strength" as a percentage. IOW, 100% is the best possible play determined and less than a 100%, not so much.

@thatguythere202 A bit lower in pitch than intended?

cut from chat, i passed, but with the new "both passed" end-of-game on the count of 1, the game ended.... cut --
" "

@haftoplay, i have no idea, i am sure it is highly meaningful though.
Try https://forum.lexulous.com/users?section=sort-reputation
(which you probably have) for a global view......

@vickibma, i hope it is OK if i say I think you are taking this move strength thing too seriously. Just don't use it if you dislike it.
Unless your format is different than mine, you have to overtly ask (click on it) to see the move strength as it is. I happen to like it, and do fish for words if it is not high enough -- just like i fish for words that eventually win the game (and they may not be the highest "word strength") -- and did so before i ever knew there was a "word strength" indicator.

@l-j I think, that because it started with a lower case letter 'e' (eBay) as is the convention for electronic devices and services, that a robot troller picked it up as a "valid" word, instead of the proper noun that it is. -- just a guess, now......

@l-j It is shown as a noun in the Cambridge as a TRADEMARK with a capital B. If trademarks are valid, what is wrong, by that reasoning, with KENMORE and BOEING......

When you check a word for validity via the game board, and click on the define button for a found word and as a definition get "This word is acceptable for play in the UK dictionary that is being used in the following games:" and a list of games in which the letter combination is playable, do you have any specific thoughts on the word? What are they?

@roymccoy said in Recommend addition/removal of words:

@l-j

Also, not sure if anyone else has noticed but the word 'myspace' (the social media website from 00s) is in the Lexulous dictionary!

How about "ebaying"?

I came across "ebay" as a valid word on Lex UK. That is a new level of ridiculous if you expect a game with defined, adhered to, rules.

@Dan I am glad to know i did not just "imagine it".

@lolamoth, in the transition form V1 to V2, that did happen to me a few times, but never knowing in advance that it would, i had no before and after screen shots so never mentioned it. It has not happened in a while now.

@thatguythere202 A bit lower in pitch than intended?

@ccappuccino, sharply? Would that be a B-Sharp?

@taposi, a new one (to me) i came across the other day was in musical structure and was DECRESCENDO.

@marc-krizack, of course it is a good word. If you look up things like the Collins definition of "ZE", then PAYDIRT becomes a perfectly logical word joining.
