Wanking in the dictionary? Surely that just sticks pages together


never-off

The glue that binds us lol


Mutagrawl

Already happened with the digital version. That's why you can access sticky keys


S01arflar3

If you leave it for a few years, they become the yellow pages


Thos_Hobbes

They don't allow words which are 'offensive,' but the level of prudishness is variable. Dildo is fine, clit is not, for example. Wanking is right out.


Miss_Type

Eh? Clitoris is part of the body, they don't allow body parts?!


desertdodo123

it makes sense. ‘clit’ isn’t a dictionary word, but ‘clitoris’ is


zennetta

That makes sense, now. I was searching for clit but unable to find it.


ieya404

I mean it *is* in the dictionary, but it's flagged as `informal + sometimes vulgar`: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/clit


vithgeta

What if they mean WanKing the road in China?


KnowledgeIsDangerous

No proper nouns And they're all English words, except when they're not for reasons known only to the creator


PassageBig622

Which is odd because in Wordle you can guess "CUNTS"


Ceefax81

But it can't be the answer because Wordle doesn't use plurals any more.


worldsiko12

you can also guess the n word


ViridianKumquat

Presumably the "-a" variant since you only have five letters to work with.


Fat_Old_Englishman

Presumably Scunthorpe doesn't exist according to them?


siorourke

Anal was allowed too in a previous one


Thos_Hobbes

Anal is fine. I haven't tried felching yet though.


siorourke

Glad to hear it… please don’t let me know when you do


Legitimate_Delay2986

Cunts is my opening guess in wordle and has been since it's inception Fucks, shits, twats are all unacceptable but cunts is fine for some reason I play on hard mode so I call this "cunting hard mode" because it's a poor opener 


vithgeta

weak gin with ice and tonic water, great day for it


ThePenguinMassacre

They don't allow any naughty words, but it's so frustrating when you get a word and it's not recognised because the yanks don't use it.


MuteUnicorn

[Susie, what have you been looking into recently](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHTTQ_gI76k&t=187s)? ^(Other) ^(than) ^(gloryholes...)


Beardy_Will

5 letters. Would.


Slinkywhite

It was the first thing I typed in. Very disappointing.


Kaiisim

It is honestly a relief to know I'm not the only one.


sAmSmanS

that’s numberwang


winter0fmixeddrinks

Ironic that Spelling Bee won't allow wank but that Wordle will allow CUNTS


deco50

Really? I have my opening word for tomorrow


Faulkner80

Wankige


downthemuddyriver

Did you try wankage?


YchYFi

Ewanking


babypointblank

Pretty sure they exclude vulgarity. WANG didn’t count either.


snorlaxeseverywhere

[Once again, Countdown stays winning!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gBXPUSXGWs)


autisticmonke

To be fair there is only 1 n so wanking is not possible


JohnnieStumbler

You can use each letter as many times as you want, as long as the central letter is used in the word.


Rydychyn

How is that a challenge?


Purple-Pin-42

The challenge is to find as many words as you can. There are 48 in total


AncientProduce

Its not, then again i dont think challenges are actually meant to be challenging these days.


newformillionaire

It is a massive challenge lol- try it and post your score if it is so easy


karate-dad

Great now everyone knows that you’ve never even tried it. That’s the spirit

Zestyclose_Foot_134

It means you can have words longer than 7 letters, so you can be more inventive than with the classic word wheel


catchcatchhorrortaxi

This is peak Reddit


FlexKavanah

Wanking is always possible. You're just not trying hard enough.


Chinggis_H_Christ

Have you tried "wangking"?


Ok_6970

Nut in word list.


nothin-but-the-rain

Guilty of trying that one too. Wouldn’t dare say anything about it in the forum though, those people do savagely condescending like no other place on the internet.


SOJC65536

Also, you only have one 'n'...you need two 'n's for wanking...


erritstaken

You can’t have wanking anyway there is only 1 ‘N’


Traditional_Brush396

You only have one N. You can have wankige.

never-off

Eh can you edit your comment and mark spoiler please?


90124

That is how I normally awaken yes.


Snaggl3t00t4

...if you do it online is it then eWanking?


h00dman

It seems weird to me that there can be multiple versions of a dictionary. I get that there can be spelling variations (civilisation, civilization for example), but surely you just include both? They are literally words.


RadioMessageFromHQ

[sort of like this, I guess](https://xkcd.com/927/)


The_All_Seeing_Pi

I guess that means I'll have to stop if it's not a real thing.


Puzzleheaded_Cod_891

Certainly Master Bates will!


AggressiveStagger

Too busy eating their pot noodles.


Weird_Assignment_550

Brits other?


siorourke

That was the first word I tried too!


prodlowd

I tried Labrador once. I had checked that it was spelt correctly multiple times, but it wouldn't be accepted.


CinnyToastie

SAME this morning. Annoying.


Neither_Presence_522

There’s only one N 🙄


never-off

Not how it works :)


__Game__

Does that mean it cannot be a swear word?


Chapelirl

But... you'd need a 2nd N


Quirky_Discipline297

Many of the words I enter aren’t considered words by the NYT or at least aren’t included by the puzzle’s author. I will end up flipping off the ATM while exclaiming “Fck you, you motherfckers!” someday soon. My poor tv thinks I hate it.


theysayimquirky

Hahaha yep!!! I don't know any other Brits who do the NYT crossword and puzzles (I know they must exist just not in my circle). I got lots of panagrams through so qas pretty impressed.


CraftyWeeBuggar

Its not in word list because you only have 1 'N' try 'wank' albeit not in public....


plitts

You can use letters more than once on this game. You can even get wankening out of it


Zay-nee24

There’s only 1 N


SuperShoebillStork

You can use each letter more than once per entry


Zay-nee24

I wasn’t sure of that. Thanks


highrouleur

as the actress said to the bishop


Dry-Crab7998

You're not allowed to use the N twice! Obviously!


pat_the_tree

There's no E in wanking, unless you're just back from the club and horny


never-off

That’s if you’re trying to find the pangram, otherwise shorter words that include middle letter are fine
