It’s a process that has given him a different outlook on existing word games, which are sometimes infamously rigid. “I tried to be as inclusive as I could be without dipping into any ‘infinite’ categories where I would have to make a personal judgement call,” he said. And things like constellations and species are definitely welcome within the compendium, Gage says. You can submit slang, as long as it’s not vulgar. You can’t submit names, places, or abbreviations, for example. While Spelltower+’s living dictionary is extremely flexible, developer Zach Gage told Polygon over Twitter that he still has some ground rules. As of this writing, the top Challenger is a user with the name uncurtaining, who has managed to get 40 words into the system. You only get three Challenges, but the number doesn’t go down if your request is successful.Ĭhallenging in and of itself could even be considered a game, because the more you file, the better you place on the Challenge leaderboard. If you’re successful, the word gets added to your wordlist and will be available for play. When you construct a word that Spelltower+ does not recognize, the game automatically asks if you want to submit a Challenge, which will prompt a review of your submission in real time. The words we conjure aren’t any less real, of course. Worse, because language is so fluid, we constantly use words in our day-to-day lives which may not yet be recognized by “official” entities, like Merriam-Webster. The thing about word games is that you are at the mercy of the built-in dictionary, which may not include the word you’re thinking of.
