... Using ENABLE for Scrabble is very silly indeed, but there's nothing wrong with the word "gos", which is perfectly valid in SOWPODS. If you can have...
Apparently, the TWL98.txt list I have is based only on the words up to 8 letters and word forms. The TWL hardcopy uses words longer than 8 words... at least 9...
