I reported that scrabble sometimes does not accept words that are in the dictionary and this has happened to me many times throughout the years. What prompted me to report finally was that the word “identical” would not go through and I always double check in the dictionary. Anyone else experiencing this? Pogo/EA claims they have never been told this.
Hello! Scrabble on Pogo is actually a Hasbro game and uses Hasbro’s official dictionary, you can see their trademark in the upper‑left corner when the game loads. Different word games rely on different dictionaries, so there isn’t one universal list that all of them share.
However, you make a very valid point. Having a single, consistent dictionary across all word games or websites would definitely make the experience feel much more consistent. Hopefully that’s something we’ll see someday!
Thanks for reaching out and happy word gaming!

I’ve actually run into this a lot too, and it gets really frustrating when a correct word just won’t go through even after double-checking. After a while I kind of lost patience with it and started playing Wordly instead—it feels more consistent. Whenever I get stuck, I usually take hints from hintwordly, which helps a lot. Definitely seems like something EA should look into though.
I had played a lot of scrabble games online but never had this kind of problem but if you are getting this kind of problems you can cross check it on Word Finder
I also face this kind of problem and for that I always use Scrabble finder tools to be sure that they are allowed in scrabble or not. I also get very frustrated by this kind of weird logic, which I find hard to understand as why many popular words are not on scrabble while many unknown words are allowed in their dictionary.
i did not choose this alias. Why am I showing up this way? I signed in with my usual info.
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.
Fart does not work for me either.
Happens a lot. * (a cigarette or a twig) and sley are both legit and not on the scrabble approved list. Some foreign word not commonly used are there, while others we use all the time are not like gracias, oui, and I've forgotten so many. Many words that you can legitimately use ed at the end don't allow it while others do. It needs a better dictionary.
unfortunately words that are valid in the scrabble dictionary checker aren't always valid in the rated games.
Often happens to me words I know which are in the Official Scrabble Players Dictionary 6th edition are challenged by my opponent. Pogo say lose your turn it’s not in our dictionary! Tired of losing games because of this!
