Doesn't seem to be working for me today, no matter what letters I type in for the 1st guess it won't accept them and says "not in word list"?

You're probably trying weird Irish 5 letter words like "feoil" and "niamh".

Honestly I don't know though, I've only ever done it on my phone and it's been fine.

Ok got it, 5th attempt today. My problem was I actually didn't realise you needed to put proper words in each time, I thought you could throw in random letters I must have just got lucky that each of my guesses were proper words yesterday

I just end up having arguments with my phone. "HMPH I'm pretty sure that IS a word. What does it mean? I don't know but it looks like a word to me."

That was also my "words with friends" tactic.

Funny side story; I once got sectarian abuse from some old bloke on Words with Friends because I used the word "bhoys". .

It's not that the word is offensive, it's a word Celtic fans often use to refer to themselves/the team ("The Bhoys") and he thought that because I used it, I must be a Celtic fan, and thus Catholic . Which is the part he clearly found offensive. Playing anonymous internet Scrabble with a Catholic .

Oh OK, so he was the one being a bit of a bigot then not accusing you of being one for using the word?
