From Collin's Scrabble Dictionary:

ING	a meadow, esp. one beside a river [n -S]
NEP	(dialect) catmint, a plant attractive to cats [n -S]
NIE	(obsolete) to nigh, approach, also NIGH, NY, NYE [v NIED, NYING, NIES]
GINN	a class of spirits in Muslim folklore [n]
PENI	(Spenser) a penny, also PENIE [n -S]
ECOD	(archaic) a mild oath, also EGAD, EGADS, IGAD [interj]

So, I should remove everything marked in the dictionary with dialect, obsolete, spenser, and archaic?

Strange. None of those definitions came up when I followed the built-in link I'm the game.

Yeah, I feel kinda bummed out by Collin's Online Dictionary. Sometimes they are better than Merriam Webster at the weird words they've added themselves. But, other times they are just completely useless.

I am wondering, whether I somehow should try and get the description straight into the game? The question then is whether we can scrape Danish and German dictionaries for similar descriptions.

That would be very nice. I sometimes find myself with 5 extra tabs open, looking up several of the words.
