hi, I was playing anagram today. The wor for the day was the zonebbs. I put the word b e s t, all leters are in the word as far as I can tell. The little problem is that the word best could not be in th dictionary?

how strange?... I'm sure Ardeth found it the other day, the explanation was to defeat in an argument that was in an ancient collins dictionary

Ok I understand that anagrams is just a game but I hate playing when it won't take half the darn words.

I'm up to now, about 12 words that even I know, that it just won't take, something's wrong there.

Yes, I hate when that happens as well. It wouldn't even take words like beet and its plural as well as other basic words, especially with the letter t in them. Annoying!

Speaking of words that are not in the dictionary, "gullible" isn't there.

That was a joke, by the way, in case someone didn't get it.

Thanks for reporting this. I think I know what the problem was and will look at the code to avoid this in the future. THis happened on at least one other word as well.

You know words do have a minimum anagram size...

Got the bug fixed, I believe. should be fixed for future anagrams.

I am still dismayed that words such as cabal, mortgagor, owzat, mortgagee and easement are not in the dictionary.

Nor is laches, as in the defence of laches, or mortmain.
