TWINK is not a valid word.

Dan Savage is no doubt vexed. My turn, then?

I haven't played much Scrabble lately, because there isn't a Droid app that interfaces with it. I have an average of about ten Words With Friends games going at any time, though.

Better, methinks, except for two things: no instant score tallying as you put tiles down, and no stats.

Wordfeud is a really good Scrabble app for Android

DOWAGE is not a good word.

Edgy DC Jun 20 2011 08:27 PM Re: Phonyland

JISM is no good. DOP isn't much help either.

Well, when I say "valid," I don't mean to say it doesn't have a history.

Frayed Knot Jul 15 2011 08:50 PM Re: Phonyland

TWINK is not valid in the TWL (which I think stands for Total Word List or something stupid like that). That's apparently the list used for (American) tournament SCRABBLE and it's NOT the same as what's in the Scrabble Dictionary. JISM, on the other hand, is considered valid.

Edgy DC Jul 15 2011 09:20 PM Re: Phonyland

I think the Facebook version (or maybe my desktop robo-edition) may be a little more profanity-cleansed.

Words With Friends rejected FIGGY today. (Sorry, pudding fans.)

I was wondering how this thread got so many posts in such a short amount of time. Thought it was the Mets Telephone thread. Never mind. Later

COPAYER I played it on ISC (real time Scrabble, with challenges), and fortunately my opponent didn't challenge it. COPAYOR isn't good, either. COPAY and COPAYS are both copacetic, though.
