BUT... the points that each letter gives is not according to language. The "weight" of some letters are different from ENGLISH to FRENCH (and also ITALIAN). For example W is 10 in FRENCH and 4 in ENGLISH and so on. So the number of points for each word is very often wrong and they are according to ENGLISH points of each letter. For example KODAK with the FRENCH list (not allowed in ENGLISH) give 14 points with your software, but it should give 23. I think that should be easy to correct. You will find on WIKIPEDIA that info, check for SCRABBLE LETTERS and you will get many language there. Thanks I am french speaking and I do appreciate the fact that you have FRENCH list of words.

I'm pretty sure it would take motherf*cker too, but I've not seen that one yet. Oddly, I play WURDLE on my iPhone and it allows ‘bad words’ like the second example above.

Hey, Serban, I'm a little late catching up on my Twitter. Hang in there, word on the street is that with 3.0 parental controls, potty mouthed reviewers won't be able to get your app removed.
