    dictionary changed mid-game


    I noticed an instance today where the dictionary has changed/updated at some point during the game, meaning my attempt at a word was rejected, but some days later was accepted on my opponent's turn. You should lock in a dictionary at the start of a game,
    and not allow updates mid game as I found that really frustrating

    :)

    You can't sadly. I have added to and subtracted from this crazy random list of scrabble words, abbreviations and proper nouns in a spreadsheet for personal use, but as far as I know, there is no single definitive source available. Some say it makes it more
    interesting. I normally say "Aarghhh!". The dictionary is now closed to new entries we are told. Btw chat is accessed from the speech bubble icon within each game, bottom rhs. Challenge me if you are desperate to chat!

    I cant even find the dictionary access or enable it. I just downloaded jax, and my chat isn't working and I have no idea how to access their dictionary. There is also a flag that I exit from that says that the microsoft push notification service didnt connect.
    After I exit it then it allows me to play. Any suggestions?

    We want a list of all the words that have been added and taken from them dictionary so that we can refer to and learn them. What is the point of having a reference dictionary that is not the defining list of words? You (the decision makers) have spoilt the
    game as a result.

    you need to publish a link to your changes post haste so all players know what is and what isn't a legitimate word in this game.

    personally, I would have just kept to a reference dictionary and not messed with it.

    weldors - not a word

    Weldors is a word in the ENABLE dictionary referred to in the Rules of the Game post. Is the Rules of the Game post wrong about which dictionary is used? Does it link to the wrong site?

    Allegedly it uses the "Enhanced North American Benchmark Lexicon"

    I was wondering that,too. Words found in Bing Dict cannot be accept and those not found ones are effective. It confused me.

    Don't know if it exists without trawling though hundreds of posts. I keep a spreadsheet of every new word i come across but you are not having it...it is priceless!
