About this word list

This list comes from the same SCOWL-based dictionary as the Clue Cache solvers. The games edit their own word lists by hand, so a word here is not a promise that Scrabble, Words With Friends or the NYT accepts it, and a game may accept a rare word this list misses. For a specific day, see today's Spelling Bee and today's Wordle.
