    I just had the word "farters" rejected... who can convince me that that's not a word?

      that's because the dictionary this site uses doesn't support 15+ letter words, so it switched to a different one for 16-25 letter words. the two dictionaries are slightly different so sometimes only the plural or only the singular is accepted

        COMPUTABLY is rejected, but INCOMPUTABLY is accepted.

          OK, now it wouldn't accept "rewild" which is in its dictionary.

              I just tried PITY & it worked for me. Maybe you're just pitiless.

                FALLENNESS is not a word? Tried it three times; not accepted.

                  I was so surprised to see that MINIMALIZE and MINIMALIZED weren't accepted. I checked SOWPODS and neither word is valid, yet they are valid words.

                    Its use and definition are disputed in English, e.g. minimize vs. minimalize.

                      Nage is not allowed? A nage is a flavored poaching liquid.

                        The difference in my mind is clear, though those words do appear in some dictionaries and not others.

                          EASING is accepted, but EASINGS isn't?

                            Easings is not an English word--it's British............that said, a lot of foreign words are accepted here, some of which you wouldn't expect.........
