Hi
What dictionary does the zone use? I was doing anagrams and the word internet was not found so I was wondering. Thanks

Some dictionaries recognize Internet but not internet.
Note the spelling: the I is in upper case for the version that most often gets recognized.

Certainly not the Oxford English dictionary.

I believe anagrams now use answers.com and other games use dicitionary.com.

dictionary.com

Actually, we use dictionary.com to look up words but the word list for Anagrams came from some website source I now forget but is/was based on the Scrabble dictionary plus larger words.

I was using the dictionary for Between the Words, and a few words like nonrechargeable, nonconclusive, etc were not on the list. It's strange because I was wondering if it used the Wiktionary database, or if it was just simply to point someone to look up the word.
