hokie carla
ah, you are correct. it is accepted.
8:44 am
Shirlockc
hmmm, you're right, it is accepted, i was double dipping with the letters!
8:45 am
rastapopolous
How do you know it's accepted? is there somewhere we can check Enable's word list?
8:45 am
hokie carla
you type it in and it says it doesn't exist instead of not found in the dictionary
8:45 am
Shirlockc
the red bar below the add word would say not in puzzle, which i assume means it is accepted
8:45 am
rastapopolous
ah, of course.
8:48 am
hokie carla
