Words that were accepted:
Mels.
Ungot. I intended to play ingot, but ungot was a higher score.Why not try? Ungot. Ridiculous.
Then, realizing words with friends has low standards, I just began typing things that looked as if they might be words.
Nu.
Drolled. (I droll, I will droll, I once drolled.)
Alow.
Agon.
Wifi and Mojo, which I would question but Mojo got me 72 points.
Soli. Either I don’t know many words, or I am playing the international version of words with friends. Wörter Avec Amigos. I just played amigos earlier and it accepted it.
Words that were not accepted:
Eruction (I was thinking of eructation.)
Gianter. It accepted “drolled” and not gianter? More giant? Really?
Jew. I know it doesn’t take racial slurs, but is this a slur? Really? Now I feel like the old lady who claims “colored” is an acceptable term. I feel bad for even trying to play the word Jew.
Well, at least Typepad spell check has standards. All these words have the red squiggle of shame. (Except for “Jew.” Racist Typepad.)
================= A visit to the dictionary revealsL
Mel – a subjective unit of tone
Ungot – not obtained or gained.
Nu – the 13th letter of the Greek alphabet
Drolled – having been droll. Just because it makes no sense doesn’t mean it isn’t a word
Alow- below deck
Agon – (in ancient Greece) a contest in which prizes were awarded in any of a number of events
Soli – plural of solo
I got a little Zen contemplating the last one, but if you have a stack of sheet music, and they are all solos, what else could you call it?

You used to be able to use Jew but every time they update the app, they update the dictionary. My WWF name is fantastica! if you’re so inclined 🙂
I was appalled to discover that Lexulous allows “gyp,” “wop,” and “jew” (particularly egregious, since Lexulous doesn’t allow proper nouns… so it’s accepting it as a VERB).
I sometimes lose points because, hot damn, I am not willing to play racial slurs. Lexulous may accept those words. I do not.
But did you try Jewy?
Jessica – I don’t know, I’m not quite good enough to play with others yet.Elsa – Well, someone needs to tell Lewis Black. And Jon Stewart and – oh, it’s like that. Okay, that’s fine.Caroline – Nope. Jewry – would jewry have worked?
