Word not accepted

[flops]

I'm not sure what dictionary we are using at the moment, but generally if a valid word is not accepted and gains the attention of the gods of wordtwisting, next time you try it will be...other times, it's just ...meh...but when it consider the number and amazingnesses of some of the words it does accept, it's a very cool game.

Flops says this is a really cool game, but I don't feel that way. Look at the words just recently posted that weren't accepted, yet other archaic and/or foreign words are. It goes beyond frustrating and takes some of the joy out of the game. I'm competing only with myself, so not winning isn't the problem.

The reason Spork is not accepted is because it is a registered trademark and not a real word.

GOUDA and GOUDAS not accepted today. Am I wrong in being completely surprised?

I used to play Scrabble a LOT. I was really good, and I beat everyone. I beat tournament players. And then I discovered the dictionary they use in actual tournaments wasn't a real dictionary. It didn't include a whole lot of words that really were words, even common words. It included things that weren't words at all. The best players memorized every word in the dictionary, and memorized letter lists (letters in alphabetical order and the word or words they make) so they could maximize scores. Vocabulary didn't matter. The dictionary was short and artificial, the rules were stupid, and I quit playing Scrabble except with friends and family. My opinion is that any dictionary for any word game must be at LEAST as complete as the Oxford Unabridged. In addition, any word formed by using ordinary English rules must be accepted unless there is already an equivalent word with the same meaning. So, "unableness" isn't a word because "inability" IS. This game has obvious holes in its dictionary, but you have to recognize that the dictionaries used by a lot of other word games are FAR worse. Complaints that this game's dictionary has faults and threats to leave for another game are pretty self-defeating, because the chances are that the other game will have a worse dictionary and no one there will heed your complaints -- in fact, it's pretty likely that no one will even read your complaints, nor will you have a way to make them.

This is so true. I played another online boggle based game and I was woeful. Many, many words that are accepted here were not accepted there.
