I was just wondering what wordlist is used for the word game. I tried to submit ASIAN, but that was not recognised as an english word.
Public forum discussion.

I guess that is considered an asian word:)

I use ENABLE. Word Asian is wron (it's proper noun), you can try this word on http://www.hasbroscrabble.com/default.asp?x=home too.

Could you gave some more info?
It is not clear to me at all what I can and can't use... Now I'm trying a bit, but sometimes it still the question if a word is not known or is.

Since he uses a Scrabble dictionary, I suppose he also uses Scrabble rules. It means that words spelled with a capital letter, such as Asian or Monday, are illegal.

Isn't possible to make language mutations of this game? E.g. czech :-)

http://www.bryson.demon.co.uk/wordlist.html - some information about ENABLE and other dictionaries.

I can add other languages - when I add "Waiting room". But I have only wordlist for English (for other languages I have only small wordlists), and this version will be without check.

On page of Czech Scrabble Association http://scrabble.hrejsi.cz/cgi/cas/index.pl?volba=pravidla/slovnik.htm there are announced czech databases. I think similar exists for oher languages. If you don't want to pay, you can let players of any language to buy this for you if they want play :-)
