I love Smush, but there have been so many times I've tried a real, common word only to find it doesn't count. I think it would be a HUGE win and would improve gameplay so much if there was a button to simply check if a word counts without having to gamble on the letters. I think it would be a simple way to make a really great game more playable!
There have been so many times a real, common word featured in every major dictionary has been rejected, seemingly for no reason. Notable examples:
Laggy -Featured in every major dictionary
Yay -Fearured in every major dictionary (I assumed it would be counted and saved it for last, only to get a Frick instead of a Perfect)
Koi -Featured in every major dictionary (Salmon, tuna, and other fish are fine, but Koi, an English word for a fish from Asia doesn't count? Why?)
I am generally very confused by the logic of what counts and what doesn't, and knowing which dictionary he's going with would be very helpful for checking which words I should be using.
