1 year ago Hiya, I'm back from my travels and will be taking a look at this today. Thanks for feedback! I would love to use a curated dictionary but don't have a lot of time to devote to this app lately. If you were willing to do a little legwork for me and find one I would definitely be open to doing the work to implement it.
Again, thanks for responding and sorry that some of the words caused you distress.
bee.ignoble.dev is my favorite Spelling Bee clone by far. It's clean and well designed, I love the options for viewing the answers one has generated thus far, and I like going back and doing old puzzles too. So I was shocked and disappointed to find that I hadn't cleared a puzzle (low scoring because of the presence of a z) because one of the words I hadn't gotten was a creatively spelled racial slur (clearly designed to slip past filters), specifically the one employed by the late Tupac Shakur in the title of his 1993 album Strictly 4 My _____. I was going to quit and never look back, but a friend encouraged me to find a way to complain, and that is when I saw the previous ticket from devilstrumpet. It is unbelievable to me that words like "iliac" and "seder" are not words according the list that you use, but a creative spelling of the n-word is. I understand from reading your thread with devilstrumpet that the dictionary you use is not curated and it will be some time before you are able to update your systems, but I hope that you will include this issue in your edits as well, and perhaps consider finding a dictionary that IS curated.
Thank you for your time and attention.
