Thank you for commenting.

DOSH is listed by Merriam-Webster as British, Informal, and is not included. A hand-edited subset of commonly used American English (with other resrictions) is the basis of the game.

No disrespect intended, but having too many words in the game dictionary leads to boring and tedious games, while too few lead to frustration. It is a balancing act.

I rely on user-submissions, but (usually, with some exceptions) limit them to US words in MW diictionary, that a reasonably educated person probably knows (or in my uneducated opinion, as a high school dropout -- should know).

Ha no worries I was only half serious, I'm aware it's informal and it's not even used that much outside of comedy sketches.

Thanks for the game btw I play it most days (though don't often make the top 10!)
