Hi David - my version uses the UK Scrabble word list (CSW19 , although there's a CSW21 now I think) which has quite a few more words than the US one. I've just checked the list with definitions and it does appear that it is valid in CSW19 as a past participle / adjective although it seems not to

This list uses an ancient version of mailman that does not except attachments of any kind, including images. You just need to find a place to host the stuff you want to share and use the URL. On Sun, Jan 16, 2022 at 12:54 David Squance via use-livecode < use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: >

Thanks to Ali for creating this and making it available. However, I have a question about the dictionary used and whether the secret word in any given turn is chosen at random from that dictionary. My last game got me to: ALOE- The first four letters are green, the last, an S is black. I

FYI, the game Deduce http://www.obviouslygenuine.com/Obviously_Genuine/Products.html does a roughly similar game mechanic with six-letter words, and offers many interesting UI features -- e.g. you can propose that a letter is correct, and the game will show you the consequences of that choice. gc

Ali. Smug as we Americans are, that is why we stick to our blinkered word list. There are just too many random strings of characters in CSW for our provincial taste. Craig > On Jan 7, 2022, at 11:36 AM, Craig Newman via use-livecode > wrote: > > Ali. > > Thanks. > > I am joining a

If you go onto the settings page you can choose to use CSW19 which is what I originally used, but then I realised people did not want words like EEVEN showing up! Actually that reminds me I need to sanitise some of those lists, at least as far as answer word selection goes On Fri, 7 Jan 2022,

Many of you will no doubt already be addicted to the game 'Wordle' (if not, prepare to be: https://www.powerlanguage.co.uk/wordle/) - the only problem with it is that you only get one per day to solve. So I have taken the liberty of making an unlimited version (in LC of course)
