* German and Portuguese have no freely-licensed official Scrabble dictionary — wordIzy uses its own filtered word lists (the same lists that power the German and Portuguese games on this site). Matching follows the site-wide convention of stripping accents (é → e), so ELEVE matches ÉLÈVE in the French ODS9.
