This was at least somewhat surprising... Today I got both PROLETARIANISING and BOURGEOISIFICATION. I guess WordTwist is trying to teach me about Marxism.

lalatan When I posted that word INVENTIONAL about 7 months ago, it was more that I was incredulous that it was an actual word

Yes , the mobile play button was being shown on my desktop too. I hit it once, by accident, and a "landscape only" message came up. I was scratching my head for a few minutes

I just set records on two games in a row. In the first one I found CONTROVERSIALITIES (34) and in the second found CONTROVERSIALISTS (32). What are the odds?

Unexpected to find that there's a new "Mobile Play" button where the old "Play" button used to be...
Bizarre that I can't stop myself from automatically clicking there like I always have...
Strange that no one else is talking about it. :-)

I think the game uses a cobbled-together dictionary. I think it was erakis who pointed out that it may start with the Scrabble dictionary, but since only 15-letter words are possible there, they switch to a different dictionary for longer words. Depending on how those are combined, extra words may come into play.
By the way, I liked ZOMBIFICATION as a word here.Last edited by Spike1007; 08-13-2019, 03:31 PM.

By the way, apparently "VAMPIRIZES" is a valid word worth 21 points.

I did not expect to get points for PETERMEN. Turns out a peterman is a safecracker, from the older British slang term "peter" for a safe.

I'm not sure about the bizarre but I had something strange and unexpected happen just a bit ago.
I'm set up to play only 5x5 games and just a game or so ago, clicked 'play another' and started in on the board. It took me several seconds to realize that it was a 4x4! I almost ended out of the game but my goal this month was to play every game that came up so I finished it. And boy was it hard to get myself to swipe in any 3 letter words!
Anyone else get a surprise like that or is it a one-off glitch?
