Just curious: Does "playability order" not work with custom lexicons? For example, when I search for the top 5 playable 7-letter words (1-5), I get:
  • CSW15: ETAERIO#, ETESIAN, ATONIES, ERASION, TAENIAE (very playable)
  • Custom (OWL3): ATALAYA, CABBALA, KABBALA, BACCALA, BACCARA (not very playable)
The fix seems to be to add the criterion "In Lexicon" = Custom (which, in this example, removes ETAERIO# and gives me INERTIA).

I'm using Collins Zyzzyva 5.0.3 on Windows 10.

Non-CSW lexicons don’t have playability data in Collins Zyzzyva, so CZ reverts to alphagram order when given a playability search (not very intuitive).

 

Upgrade to CZ 5.1.1 for CSW19 lexicon.  In 5.1.1 there is a separate bug with many playability searches on CSW19, fix coming soon.

Thanks for the quick response, Jim.

How should I upgrade in order to preserve my quizzes and settings (like board layout)?

Josh, search through messages in this group – I think that has been answered by other people.
