The Enable Word List has not been updated since the year 2000. Keep that in mind when you are surprised it doesn't take homies.

Hello!

And I believe Babble is still using the original version of the Enable word list, which is even older
5:56 pm
Gillie
(though Mollyèmore up-to-date
5:57 pm
Gillie
**though Molly may be more up to date
6:00 pm
Gillie
For example, some recent puzzles have had the word "spam" (which is in the latest Enable list), but this wasn't accepted by Babble (although it did mysteriously claim that it wasn't in the puzzle, rather than that it wasn't in the dictionary)

the 1st RE 6/21 is a fish
6:21 pm
Gillie
A kind of fish that attaches itself to things by a sucking disk on its head.
6:22 pm
Kamanjah
I had to look it up - it's a fish with a sucking disk on top of its head. That's likely not much help unless you really know fish.
6:22 pm
Gillie
Some of them attach themselves to sharks
6:27 pm
MollyL
A sucking what?
