What's happened to the game recently? I've been happily playing it daily since its release, and just a couple days ago it went to six-letter words and now a lot of very common words don't work as guesses. It's become a very frustrating experience to play now, which is really disappointing. Any chance these changes will get rolled back soon?

I ran out of five letter words - hence the switch to six. But it sounds like the default dictionary of six letter words I've got isn't as good as the five letter one. I'll have a poke over the long weekend and see if I can get a better one. If you have a couple of examples of six letter words it should have and doesn't, then that will be a useful test for me to see if any replacement dictionary is more comprehensive.

I've found what claims to be a scrabble dictionary and that's added about 10,000 words to the word list so hopefully that aspect will have improved.

Yes, that's immediately better. Thank you so much for the response and fix! I appreciate your dedication :)
