    I would go with iPhone seeing as "it's right in front of you" was another clue :)

    Nope, tried it.
    I would guess it's "achievement" as it's the longest word and "secret" is pretty easy to play.
    Did someone try "NimbleBit"?

    Edit : played "Heil", maybe it shouldn't be on the accepted word list?

    :(

    probably achievement then. I tried Castle earlier (all be it in a single player) and it didn't work...

    Finally lost my longest game, 86 rounds!! I think it spanned a few weeks.

    What dictionary is being used? I've seen some modern slang/tech words I wouldn't have expected, and I've seen people play words that the built-in lookup dictionary can't find.

    It's a compilation of a few different ones, along with our own additions.

    60 rounds and counting at the moment. It's also the first game against that opponent :)

    You mentioned an improved dictionary would be coming in an update some time ago. Is that still coming with the rebalancing update?

    A few common words that I would expect to be allowed but weren't are:
    ACTIONED
    QUORATE
    MUNG
    EVENTING

    I think the lookup just uses the built in iPhone dictionary. I've used it in the past to look up words when reading from iBooks but found it frequently didn't have words so I uninstalled it.

    With all this talk of longest matches, what's your longest word? I thought I had a 15 (UNREPEATABILITY) but it wasn't allowed so my best is still REVOLUTIONARY.

    Mine is Moderations
    I got to say Mr Bez is my toughest opponent. Quite unbeatable for me at least ;)
    I blurred the GC names of the people who have not posted here I think. If you're in the list and want your GC name blurred tell me by mp!
    My stats have dwindled with almost all my auto matches resulting in losses, and a few times I suspected some outside help for my opponent :(
    I'm at 96/60 which is ok for me, I don't want to cheat and the game is quite hard for a non native speaker. I see some easy words played against me that I would never have thought of, even if I know them. I guess some letters combinations are harder for me in English.

    Just updated and only had one life. After I used it, the option to watch a video was grayed out and said unavailable. My only option was to buy lives. So what gives?

    Okay, now it's working. Not sure what caused the issue before.

    Sometimes it takes a few moments to load an ad in the background.

    Is it normal to be able to still buy packs of lives when you have the Infinite Lives IAP bought?
