Sometimes words come up as non- existing but do appear in some dictionaries when Googled. Wonder if the dictionary sources could be expanded? Second suggestion - could there be a way of checking two-word crossword answers? Keep it up, very useful thanks. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No spaces *2026-04-13, version 4.6.1* Not useful for Wordle.
