Dec 14th 2021 16:20 • Tellingnot • Bug has not been reproduced by developers yet:

If the game is going to auto-reject legitimate words, please provide information on the dictionary used in the log, and somewhere else obvious

Dec 15th 2021 04:23 • jephly • This bug won't be fixed:

The dictionaries used are clearly documented on the game wiki (en.doc.boardgamearena.com/Gamehelplettertycoon). They are also indicated in the game options.

The dictionaries are based on the two most popular Scrabble dictionaries, for North American and British English (NWL and CWL, respectively). It appears that neither of these dictionaries contain the word PRESSABLE. While this word is in Merriam-Webster, and so could be considered a valid word, the line has to be drawn somewhere.

I, like you, probably would have considered PRESSABLE valid word, and been disappointed that it wasn't in the Scrabble dictionaries. However, these are the best dictionaries available, so, although they're not perfect, there's little I can do.

Thank you for the information re: where to find the dictionary.

While the line must be drawn somewhere, it does seem a bit unfair to use the Scrabble dictionary as “printed,” which only includes words eight letters and under, when Letter Tycoon offers players ten playable letter tiles, plus patent effects which can increase word length (eg, duplicate a letter). The Scrabble dictionary itself recognizes the word length limitation and refers players to Merriam Webster for words in excess of eight letters (eg, pressable, which has nine letters)

Dec 15th 2021 05:16 • jephly • This bug won't be fixed:

Regardless of any limits the "printed" Scrabble dictionary may have, the source I used (digital versions of NWL and CWL) both contain longer words. For example, the NWL contains over 30k 9-letter words. It just doesn't contain PRESSABLE.

If you have any suggestions for improvements to the dictionaries, I'm all ears. However, I've researched the question thoroughly and already made a few improvements to the dictionaries (e.g. adding CWL, and more recently adding another, smaller dictionary based on 12dicts, for specialized use).
