these non-existant words are accepted: fumy-- annas--chao--- tate-- ology-- coati-- cris-- cains-- dor-- del-- gor-- gunnen-- kir-- guck -- cate-- creatins-- gleg-- eme-- erns-- ani-- voe--
this is just a sample of the words used by some of the dimwits and were accepted.
Yahoo must use a Martian dictionary because none of these can be found in our Earth dictionaries.
Yahoo should suspend this game until they get their act together.
I will be making Google my home page from now on as a result of this ignorant stupidity.
Anyone else who plays this game, would you also enter some of the imbecilic words that yahoo think are valid and we can all have a laugh at their stupidity. Sensible words which do exist are rejected ie pelagic--- elegaic-- insipid-- I could go on

Well, these were probably accepted because they are good words. They exist. I don't know all of them, but have seen and used some in the list.
Anna - Indian unit of money. Got that from stamp collecting.
Coati - Central/South American relative of Racoon
Ern(s) - Type of eagle - from birding
Ani - Type of cuckoo - also from birding
Cain(s) - What you pay in product to sharecrop land. Haven't heard that one in years.
Cate - A special food treat
Guck - Slimy, messy, oozy stuff
I suspect the others are good words also. Why shouldn't the game allow these words? People know them and use them. As for the ones you say the game rejects, there's no reason for pelagic or insipid to bounce. For the other one, are you sure you didn't mean "elegiac'?

I know what you mean about the words. It's weird too that when you play different games the words that were acceptable in one game are not in another. I like Word Mojo the best and Text Twist is fun too. I don't know if using Google to play word games is really going to help. It might just have something to do with the person/people that made up the game and that doesn't have anything to do with where you play them.

Why not also vent one's annoyance at errors of punctuation? That should be "yahoo's" not yahoos, by the way.
I agree that some lovely words are sadly under-used within this forum, in favour of nonsense.
I hereby introduce a new term - 'detritus grammaticus' to desribe such abominations of the English language.
Yours pedantically...

well, because literati uses abbreviations and short forms too. i like to play literati, though, cause i love word games :)
i think you detest it because you always lose? do you know how to get points? 2l stands for "double the points of a letter." 3l means "triple the points for a letter." 2w stands for "double the points of the word." and 3w stands for "triple the points of the word." if you persist, you'll learn how to play it smartly... gd luck :)

there's a dialectal sort of the word that looks like Yay-hoo...this is oftentimes spoken that way in jest...despite the fact that it got here from someplace. I pronounce it like Ya that rhymes with Ma (your mom) and - who

Well, you just got away with 'non-existant'.
That's not a word in my dictionary.
(I found non-existent though)
