Attn Administrator: "Good" word rejected!

[Wordie]

I have tried to play "tarn" repeatedly and it is rejected. It's a perfectly good English word -- check any dictionary -- that means a woodland pool with steep sides. Can it be added to the dictionary that this site uses?? Has anyone else found words that should be scored but are not accepted??

Thanks wordie! There are undoubtedly words that are missing from our dictionary, and its a good idea to start a thread where people can post valid words which aren't recognized.

The way the site works, I can't easily add words one at a time and have each puzzle recognize them, but I think I'll make a point of accumulating missing words on threads like these and maybe once a month updating all the puzzles in our inventory to recognize them properly.

Thanks!
