Words With Friends Words

I recently found out through Word Radar Power Up and limited letters that QGP (Quark-gluon Plasma] is a valid word in Word With Friends
This is not listed as a valid word anywhere that I can find with an internet search. Do you know of any other super secret words in Words With Friends that you are willing to share?

Response by poster: I believe the iOS package can be retrieved from a phone backup, renamed to whatever.zip and then unzipped. Within this zip should be a text file containing all the valid words.
What?

Best answer: iOS package = the app
Retrieved from phone backup = if you back to your phone on a computer, look for the app as a file;
Then rename the file to end in .zip and you can look at the parts inside the app.
The Words With Friends word list is based on the Enhanced North American Benchmark Lexicon (ENABLE) word list, available here but contains some modifications, described here.
Last November, Zynga added 50,000 words in what it called it's "social dictionary" and broke a "sacred Scrabble rule", to include abbreviations like QGP, BFF and FOMO.

I just got one.. I'm playing practice games against the game and it played TFW, which it defines as a slang acronym for, "that feeling when"!
