Dictionary Differences FAQ
These pages are meant to make the corpus comparison understandable at a glance, including where the numbers come from and what the links do next.
What does "broad-English only" mean on this page?
These words appear in Xfire's broader english-general corpus but do not appear in its stricter board-core board-word list for the current repo snapshot.
Does this make a word officially valid in Scrabble or Words With Friends?
No. These pages compare Xfire's own public word-reference corpora. They are useful for clue solving, rack scanning, and word-game browsing, but official acceptance still depends on the specific game and dictionary you are playing.
Why do the two corpora disagree at all?
They come from different public word-source families and normalization choices. The overlap is large, but Xfire does not pretend one list is a perfect superset of the other, so these pages expose the real mismatches instead of smoothing them away.
Why does the length link open a larger word list than the count shown here?
The count on this page is for the current difference set only. The link takes you to the full canonical length hub so you can branch into pattern pages and related tools from there. This rollout does not create separate difference-only length routes.
