Words that don’t work

Open AdamGriffery opened this issue 2 years ago • 6 comments

The words “internet” and “mixtape” are not allowed as answers. How is this possible? They are both totally valid English words.

Hmm, I agree they should probably be allowed. I may add them when I next play with the word lists!

How is this possible?

Internet borders on being a proper noun, and mixtape is probably too new for the Scrabble lists I am using.

Internet is not a proper noun lol. And mixtapes have existed far longer than the Internet.

Also FLOWY is considered invalid for some reason.

The internet is a tool. To say that it is a proper noun would be like saying that telephone is a proper noun.

Mixtape has been in regular circulation since the time of the Beatles...
