This game has a fairly comprehensive dictionary, kind of like Scrabble. The idea is that words should not be rejected merely for being uncommon.

Basically, if a respected dictionary includes a word, this list does as well. I do understand the appeal of omitting weird words, but that would be a considerable and subjective undertaking.

But I'll see if I can find that thread, perhaps it will change my mind. Thanks!
