Scabble needs a better dictionary!

[KD67]

So I have been playing the Scabble app, but it really needs a better dictionary.  Half the time it will not let me use a word that is a real word.  I mean come on....I can't use the word zeus? or cain?  what the heck?  that is just a couple that I couldn't use but jeez!  Otherwise its a great game.

also it won't let you use the word bling which means glitzy.  The dictionary needs updating.

The "old" rules say you can't use proper nouns....................only recently have they come out with a Scrabble game (regular board game) that allows using proper nouns. I didn't even know they had changed the rules until I Googled it..........and I've been playing Scrabble for years!!

"Zeus" and "Cain" are proper nouns.

You know It didn't even occur to me about the proper nouns.  I used to play scabble alot when I was a kid but have not played it in years until I saw the App on sale for .99 cents.  So I thought...man I need to get that.  Well hopefully they will update the Dictionary for it, if a word is real then you should really be able to use it IMO!  Thanks for the responses.

Yes, the traditional rules did not allow use of proper nouns.  On the other hand, "fi", "fo" and "fum" were allowed for years and years but are not under the current app.
