Why can some players play GI as a word and others cannot?

Question

I have confirmed with at least two to three players on each side of the problem. Every time I see someone play GI I ask them if they always succeed in playing it and they do. I've asked my regular opponents if they can play it and have confirmed at least two  others besides myself who cannot. Yet they notice as well that others are able to play it. What's going on here please?

Answer 1

Gi was just added as a valid word in a recent version update.  Make sure you have the latest version of WWF installed.

Answer 2

GI is a valid word.  Have you updated to the latest version of the game?  Sometimes they update the dictionary between versions
