"Zot" (Words With Friends)

Posted on 12/12/2013 9:21:45 PM PST by CovenBuster

Anyone play Words With Friends? If so, have you ever tried to play the word "zot"? Would you believe the system won't accept it? Whaaaaaaat??? Apparently they don't understand the influence FR has on the culture!

A couple of years ago when I was fairly new to the game, I thought I was about to make an impressive move. I had the "z" sitting on a triple letter square, and I was creating two words using the triple z twice (vertically and horizontally). It was going to be my highest scoring word to date. I was so proud. Then I hit the "play" button, and to my astonishment, the system said that "zot" is not an acceptable word! "This can't be," I told myself. There are ZOTs aplenty at FR. So I hit the button again. Same results. Harrrrruumph!

I considered giving up the game, but I was already addicted.

So that's my sad tale. And here's my question: How can we get "zot" added to the new words list that comes out every year? And my second question is: How can we get it added to WWF?

Hahahahahahahaha!! I knew there would be FReepers who are drawn to ZOTs like moths to a flame! This time it’ll have to be IBTNZ. :P

Another WWF? I'm suffering from acronym overloading.

That wouldn’t be an acceptable word in WWF because it’s a proper name. FR’s zot is just a regular word and should be accepted.

I was wondering of they meant “World Wrestling Federation” or “World Wildlife Fund”, but your graphic covers them both!! Nice!

You’re right! That’s not capitalized. Therefore, it should be a legal word. I can’t count the number of points it’s cost me to have that word unavailable to me.

Wonder how to get them to legalize it?

You need to launch a White House petition and a letter writing campaign and then picket the corporate office of WWF.

Then nuke it, just to make sure.

The word "ZOT" predates all of those.

It was first used on The Underdog Show (cartoon.)
