Editorial Policy & Standards

LexiClash publishes word-game guides, cognitive-science explainers, and language-learning research. Every article exists to help a real player improve, learn, or make a better decision — never just to rank in search engines. If a topic does not pass that test, we do not publish it.

Articles are authored by Ohad Fisher, founder and editor-in-chief of LexiClash, with eight-plus years of hands-on word-game design, competitive Boggle play, and informal cognitive-science study. Guest contributors are identified by name in the byline and bio card on every post they write.

Every contributor must disclose conflicts of interest before publication. We do not accept paid placements, sponsored links, or “guest posts” from agencies. Sponsored content, when it ever occurs, will be clearly labeled Sponsored at the top of the article.

1. Primary play. Every game we cover is played for at least ten hours by the writer before any review or comparison is published. Screenshots and gameplay notes are taken during real sessions, not pulled from press kits.
2. Peer-reviewed sources. Cognitive-science and language-learning claims are sourced from peer-reviewed journals (PubMed, JSTOR, Google Scholar), university publications, or recognized institutions (NIH, WHO, Oxford, Cambridge). We link directly to the source whenever the publisher allows it.
3. Independent confirmation. Any factual claim that affects a player's decision (rule, score, dictionary size, language support) is independently verified against the official source before publication.
4. Original data. When we can, we run our own measurements — vocabulary gains, session lengths, retention curves — and publish the methodology alongside the numbers.

Every article is reviewed before publication. The reviewer's job is to challenge every claim, check every external link, and confirm that sources actually say what the article claims they say. Articles touching on health, education, or scientific research receive an additional review focused on accuracy and nuance.

We update articles when the underlying facts change. The Last updated date on every post reflects a real review, not a cosmetic edit. When we make a substantive change, we add a note at the bottom of the article explaining what changed and why.

Where a claim is not common knowledge, we cite it. Citations appear inline as links and are also exposed in the article's structured data so search engines and assistive tools can surface them. We prefer primary sources over secondary aggregators. We never quote a study we have not read.

LexiClash articles are written and edited by humans. We sometimes use AI tools as a research assistant — for brainstorming outlines, finding relevant studies, or checking spelling and grammar — but no article on this site is generated by AI and published without a human author rewriting, fact-checking, and signing off on it. The voice, opinions, gameplay observations, and editorial judgment in every article come from a real person.

If you find an error, email editor@lexiclash.live with the article URL and the issue. We respond within five business days. Confirmed errors are corrected promptly, and substantive corrections are noted at the bottom of the article with the date of the correction.

LexiClash is funded by display advertising, optional in-game purchases, and direct user support. Editorial decisions are made independently of advertisers. No advertiser sees an article before publication, and no advertiser can request a change after publication. Reviews of competing word games are written without contacting the developer first, so the experience reflects what a normal player will encounter.
