Many word games keep their word lists hidden — which can be frustrating when a reasonable word is rejected. We publish all the words our games allow and, in the future, we aim to publish the words we don't allow and why. We filter words based on taste with some strict rules and some not‑so‑strict ones; see theHexes instructions for details. This isn't an exhaustive list of every word we would allow yet, it's just the words we have allowed so far.
