This page lists words which might appear to be invalid but actually are valid. It is, of course, not exhaustive.
- ATLANTES: Plural of definition 3 of atlas.
- BUCU: Searching cannot find certain accented characters, it is listed under bussu.
- DADDED, DADDING: Listed under daud.
- GINNELLED, GINNELLING: Listed under ginnle.
- HEMPED, HEMPING: Listed under empt.
- MAUGER, MAUGERED, MAUGERING: Searching does not direct to maugre where its variant spellings (as a verb) can be found in second entry.
- MEDALISE, MEDALLISE: Searching does not direct to medallize unless MEDALIZE or MEDALLIZE are searched instead, MEDALISE and MEDALLISE have to be allowed on Countdown as per rule that says -ISE/-IZE variants of nouns and verbs need not be specified, as -IZE is an Oxford spelling as well as a US spelling.
