I love the wordcubes and wish there were more than 1 a day! I go back and play old ones I haven’t played before! They’re my guilty pleasure at work and my boyfriend and I face off on our laptops! (I always win
)
sometimes i just have a mental lapse….but humor should be in….as far as i can tell…..?
Hi brittany, thanks for your encouraging feedback. You’ve stumbled upon the difference between British English and American English (I’m assuming your American, correct me if I’m wrong). We spell ‘humor’ as ‘humour’, I’m afraid there is no obvious fix for this currently. Hopefully this isn’t a major problem for you, shouldn’t be too many words that are different.
I would prefer that you keep the target number of words on each page so we know when to quit! Thanks and I enjoy doing these word cubes.
Doug,
Yeah I forgot to add that back in when I updated the design. I’ve added it back in now.
Thanks.
Mat
Hi,
There is a little mistake in the new look wordcube page. The field for ‘Excellent’ and ‘Godlike’ are the same. This shows the same number for both, in the list of targets for each puzzle. We know the Godlike is different because it appears in the ‘count’.
I thought you might want to fix that.
Cheers,
Avigail
Thanks Avigail, I’ve fixed it now.

Fortunately, I am not an American! Unfortunately I am a Canadian who reads a lot of American material
I half expected this to be an American site, hence my confusion! hehe
On April 10 I tried the word Plantar (like plantar warts or plantar fasciitis) but it didn’t work… is it considered medical so it doesn’t count?
Thanks Mat, that’s great!
@brittany,
Canadians are cool. Yeah I’ve not heard of plantar before, but it doesn’t use a capital letter. I’m not sure where to stand on these issues, and insight or ideas on your behalf would be useful.
I was planning on implementing a page where you can put in words that you believe are words but did not validate in the wordcube. These words can then be checked and placed into the dictionary. Perhaps the same for removal of bad words (although all are checked against dictionary.com)
WordCube (2010/04/28)
Great 9 letter.
2010/05/06 word cube; “odor” doesn’t work? this is such a basic word!
Odor is an American spelling of odour. This is using an English dictionary.
@mat
Understood. Thanks for the quick response!
Etui ( http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/etui ) isn’t in your dictionary? I know it’s a favourite of crosswords.
Thanks for the site, I look forward to my daily game during my lunch break.
You don’t have scrum either http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/scrum
@Shelley
Yeah some other people noticed scrum wasn’t in the dictionary, I still need to get round to building a form for adding words to my dictionary. I will start work on it when I get some free time.
Thanks for your feedback
Thank you for the game, I love it.
Wish I could create one.
sometimes there are words that arent recognized
The game is good – but sometimes it’s necessary to type a word in twice, as the first time it’s not recognised???
Hi I love your daily wordcubes. One very small comment–when you type in the word, the space does not show the bottom of the letter (“y” looks just like “v”).
Hi Mat
My wife and I really enjoy your daily wordcube. We were wondering if there is an easy way to get to previous wordcubes rather than having to repeatedly click the previous button. We are accessing December 2009 puzzles at the moment and it would be helpful if there was a short cut to get back to earlier puzzles.
Thanks for the great site.
Regards
Myself and my son Matthew love Wordcube, we play it every day in Mimosa mete!
@Bill You can access a wordcube for a specific date by changing the date in the url like the following for the wordcube on 19th June 2010:

I am still working on a nicer way to choose a wordcube from a specific date.
Dear Mat,
Thanks for the reply. My wife and I appreciate you letting us know the shortcut.
Kind regards
Bill
With regard to puzzle 2010/06/29, http://www.dictionary.reference.com and the Free (Farlex) Online Dictionary would permit the use of the word “NIDE”
In any case, thanks for your site and the puzzle.
Regards,
John.
Hi
Love wordcube, thanks for publishing it!
Please don’t make it so that it includes a billion little words that are virtually unused and unknown. I used to do word polygon on the times website til they just took it off. This one is way better, for that reason, and because it is interactive on the site.
