You get used to the strange words after playing enough. Not every one will agree on what is a word; the best we can do is abide by a dictionary decided by knowledgeable lexicographers, even if it includes some obscure words we don't like.

There is actually a rift right now, with players in North America who want to play with the official World dictionary, which has 33% more words than the official North American dictionary. i.e. 33% more obscure words.

For example, acceptable in the World dictionary are WAQF(muslim word); IWI (Maori word); YRAVISHED (an old-English inflection of ravished); and a bunch of other unrecognizable strings of letters.
