I was surprised to play some of the 7-by-many puzzles and that "nicen" didn't seem to count. Both are listed in the Wiktionary, which I understand is the dictionary used for this game? The former word may have become accepted since I've posted this, but the latter always gives me the "Sorry, 'nicen' is not a word" message. I've not only heard it in speech for decades, but it's a pretty common verb. The usage I have read and heard express the idea of "nicen(ing) up" something (usually a room or home, but I've also seen it in the context of adjusting a person's behavior.) "Nicen up" is actually listed in the Wiktionary as the term "nicen" is derived from. Can this word be added?

Also, I cannot seem to get "pappa" accepted, despite it also being considered a noun that is a synonym for "dad, papa," etc. "Mamma" is accepted (as is Mama, if it's not the 7-by-many, so 4 letters are accepted), but I cannot seem to get "pappa" accepted. These are both common variations of the same words that simply are spelled without the double consonants in the middle.

I would like to see "atopic" added to this puzzle/combination of letters. "Atopic" is a noun and adjective that is also in Scrabble's dictionary and refers to a type of allergy. Merriam Webster counts it, and they consider it an adjective as well that is from the Greek words "atopia" and "atopos," both of which refer to something uncommon (in the case of "atopic," it's a referent to genetic disposition to develop an allergy). I think it would be as allowable as a word like "ectopic" (another adjective referring to a medical condition, like an ectopic pregnancy). Neither are proper nouns. Thoughts? Thanks!

Can we please add "torta" as a word? It is a food (usually a sandwich made of flatbread) that is available at many restaurants and is used in Mexican restaurants in most of my experiences. It is also in the Scrabble dictionary. We are allowed to name other foods (like a torte or an omelette). "Torta" does not require capitalization, so it seems to meet the criteria. Thoughts? Thank you! I love this game!

Please consider adding “amastia” as an accepted word. It is a medical condition, so I would think it should be as accepted as words such as “cancer” or “mania,” etc. Thanks so much!

Hello,

I have noticed lately that words like “Latina” and “Latino” are accepted, but “Latin” is not . Likewise, “Satanic” is accepted, while “Satan” is not. It’s a bit confusing what the distinction is, and also what proper nouns are accepted. For example, the 7-by-many puzzle will accept the names of various currencies (such as “Ruble” or “Rupee”), but it does not allow for names of certain countries. This is a little confusing and is affecting my “hit percentage.” If anyone can explain the logic and/or clarify why some of these words are allowed, but others are not, it would be appreciated.
