Report history
No dictionary is perfect, and inevitably opinions will differ about whether individual words should or should not be included. But by selecting a dictionary that most closely matches your background and play style, you can improve your experience.
For example, you will find that the CSW dictionary does contain EXOTICISE (as well as IONISE), while NWL only contains the latter. In general, CSW contains the most rare words. If that is what you prefer, then I recommend that option.
Regardless, I'm not in the business of crafting dictionaries for word games, which is why this game provides a selection of dictionaries carefully designed by experts and used for word games all over the world. Since neither you nor I are dictionary-crafting experts, I won't make modifications to these standard dictionaries based on either of our opinions.
