I put our system info below. Some people do send friendly chats as nudge reminders. “You want to play some more turns today?, etc.” Saying things like “Play now” or “Are you ever going to play” often is not taken well.

We do have nudge on the feature request list.

The system will delete random games after 7 days and other games after 11.

When it’s not your turn and you would like to remove a game from your game list you can select “Remove Game” from the game menu. When your are viewing a game board the game menu is in the top right corner. You will no longer see the removed game on your list after selecting remove game. However if the player does make a turn before the auto resign time period is reached it will come back on your list.

You may also Block a player from starting future games with you or chatting to you. Tap their chum in the game screen and swipe up on the Stats screen to see the “Block” button. You can also block them by tapping their name in your leader board on the main screen. Swipe up on the stats screen there to see block button.

Games that are removed will not count in stats until they are auto resigned but when they do the person who did not play gets a loss and the other a win.

We do try to keep the dictionary in line with the Collins and Webster’s scrabble dictionaries.

Quey and Queys are currently valid words on our list. This usually occurs when other words are being formed at the same time that are not valid or there could be a stray tile on the board.

Full word list details:
We added the definitions as a bonus feature to provide many definitions for the curious. However there are very few sources we can access easily and legally from the app. Currently our definition source is Wordnik.com but its not connected to the validation list.

For word validation we try to closely match the Merriam-Webster’s Scrabble dictionary (link to it is below).

This is the link for Scrabble’s official list (They have access to an official Merriam-Websters Scrabble dictionary for definitions):
http://www.hasbro.com/scrabble-2/en_US/search.cfm

The link above does not always let you search all forms of words and they also need to be checked here:
http://www.collinsdictionary.com/word-games/scrabble-checker/

We started with a standard word list for validation called ENABLE2k that is often used for word games and word game tournaments. People and Chumbots use the exact same list..except some of the easier Chumbots can’t use parts of the list. It’s used by quite a few games and you can search google on it if interested. However it only has words and not definitions. We look definitions up via a service called Wordnik.com which does not have definitions for all the words on the Enable2k list. In an upcoming update we are going to research many of the most unusual words and create a list of their definitions we can use in game. Scrabble’s list is copyrighted so we cannot copy it directly. The link for their list is above in case you are curious.

If you would like to suggest words to add or delete just send us a support request or email to support@peoplefun.com.

Thanks for playing and spreading the word!
