Mom and I both have an ipad. We both love word games. We both have the Scrapple app and constantly have a game, or two, or even three, running at any given time. Mom also views my taking a turn as a good way for her to make sure that I'm ok. (Hey - she IS a mom!)
Unfortunately, the dictionary doesn't allow a lot of words that really are legitimate words.
For example, "peculate" is a word, but "speculate" is not.
Hindu, Hindi, Jew, quo, zen, zion, are also words that are not allowed - per this particular version's dictionary.
Over the course of numerous games played, we've come up with a lot more "creative" words that WE think should be allowed since English is, after all, a living language. Here is but one of what will probably be many examples of our "failed" attempts of expanding the English language. (not that we're miffed or anything. Hmmph!)
Dotless - adj. "without dots"
Mom: If a girl has a polka dotted dress and her mom bleached it, she would then be dotless, right?
We continue playing, of course, but most definitely under protest. #OccupyScrabble!
