Re: scrabble words missing that are in dictionary

I've never had the app reject words that are in the dictionary (in the sense that the app says "Sorry, *** is not a valid word in the English dictionary. Please try again."). However, I often have moves that "don't go through" when there is a problem either with my network connection or with EA's connection to their ad-server. If EA can't show you an ad then they often just fail the move (with some sort of network failure message) and you need to retry.

    @PaulC852 I tried again and again because I knew it was a word and it wouldn’t accept it. I’ve written down three words since reporting that also failed ~ impartial, equipment & fart. I go back later when a word doesn’t work to try it again. I have good internet connection and patience so I suspect their dictionary needs upgrading.

    Just to be clear, the Error Message that you see is "Sorry, FART is not a valid word in the English dictionary. Please try again.". Is that correct?

    If so then it seems like your copy of the app is corrupted; you could try reinstalling it. FART works fine for me (using CSW19 dictionary - I guess it may not be in some of the other restricted dictionaries necessary for Americans of a sensitive disposition).

    You can check if words are valid/legal using this Scrabble Dictionary checker.

    When you visit the page, you'll see a search bar where you can enter the Scrabble word to check its validity.

    This has helped me avoid a lot of debates recently! Hope it helps you as well. Cheers!

    unfortunately words that are valid in the scrabble dictionary checker aren't always valid in the rated games.

    It does not even give that sorry that's not a word message to me. It just won't let me play it. Whatever it is.
