"Hi,

I've been working on a Scrabble variant, Burns Scrabb'e, the idea, pretty much, is to use the works of the poet Robert Burns as the canonical reference. Ideally, this would involve the addition of a number of apostrophe tiles, in order to facilitate play with a standard set, I've generated a word list from a Gutenberg etext of the poems & songs of Burns which omits apostrophes. I guess my question for you folks is, do you have any plans for implementing support of user-supplied dictionaries? I've really been enjoying your app, being able to use it to play Burns Scrabb'e would make it all the more wonderful. Sorry about the load issues.

Thanks,

dbr"

"Hello,

Please note that dictionaries for this game are different from regular dictionaries.

Some words maybe present in them which are not found in your normal dictionaries (and vice versa). It is not possible to change these dictionaries as most players are used to these versions.
