Lexiko — Terms of use

Last updated: 2026-11-14

These terms apply to the Lexiko app, published by Jérémy Bastin (Liège, Belgium, hello@teddyapps.net). On iOS they complement Apple’s standard license agreement (EULA), which also applies: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

The app

Lexiko checks whether a word is in the app’s dictionary and shows its definition and its face value in points, in 7 game languages: French, English, Spanish, Italian, German, Dutch and Portuguese. It runs on iPhone.

Trial and purchase

  • The first 50 checks are free. A check is one press of Check, however many words it holds.
  • After that, a one-time (non-consumable) purchase unlocks unlimited checks for good. No subscription: nothing is charged afterwards.
  • The price shown is the App Store’s, taxes included as your country requires.
  • The purchase is tied to your Apple account: Settings › Restore purchases brings it back on another iPhone or after reinstalling.
  • Refunds: decided by Apple under its rules (https://reportaproblem.apple.com).
  • Right of withdrawal: the purchase is digital content supplied as soon as it is bought. By confirming the purchase you ask for it to start right away and acknowledge that you lose the 14-day withdrawal period (EU Directive 2011/83/EU, article 16(m)). A refund can still be requested from Apple.

The dictionary

Lexiko’s dictionary is built from open sources (see “Dictionary data”). Lexiko does not use the official tournament lists (ODS, Collins, NWL…). The app says a word is “in the dictionary”, never that it is officially valid.

We do not guarantee that the dictionary matches any official list, nor that a result will be accepted by a club, a tournament or an opponent: a word the app accepts may be refused there, and the other way round. Definitions come from Wiktionary and may be incomplete or inaccurate.

Use

You agree not to decompile the app or bypass purchase checks, except as permitted by law.

Dictionary data

Words and definitions come from open sources. Each file of the dictionary data combines the definitions, under CC BY-SA 4.0, and the word list of its language, under that list’s own license.

Word lists:

  • French: Grammalecte, Olivier R. — MPL 2.0
  • English: ENABLE — public domain
  • Spanish: RLA-ES (LibreOffice es_ES), Proyecto RLA-ES — MPL 1.1 (chosen from its GPL / LGPL / MPL licenses)
  • Dutch: OpenTaal, Stichting OpenTaal — CC BY 3.0 (chosen from its BSD / CC BY licenses)
  • Portuguese: VERO (LibreOffice pt-BR), Raimundo Moura and team — MPL (chosen from its LGPLv3 / MPL licenses)
  • German and Italian: Wiktionary alone decides which words are playable.

Changes made: definitions extracted by kaikki.org, filtered (proper nouns, abbreviations, phrases), limited to six senses, spelling normalised to game tiles, merged with each language’s word list and a few editorial additions and removals.

All the dictionary data, with its license notice, can be downloaded freely: https://dicts.teddyapps.net/v1/README.txt.

Trademarks

Lexiko is an independent app, not affiliated with or endorsed by Mattel, Hasbro or any game federation. The names of the lists mentioned belong to their owners.

Liability

The app is provided as is. To the extent permitted by Belgian law, we are not liable for indirect damages arising from its use, including the outcome of a game or a dispute. Nothing in these terms limits your consumer rights.

Governing law

These terms are governed by Belgian law, and the courts of Liège have jurisdiction. Consumers keep the protection of the mandatory rules of their country of residence.

Changes

Changes are published on this page with their date.
