I think that a Dial Word satisfies the property that

If we convert the letters of the word to numbers using the mappings of a telephone keypad we obtain a prime number

Examples

TAX $\rightarrow$ 829, which is prime
WINDOW $\rightarrow$ 946369, which is prime.
WINDOWS $\rightarrow$ 9463697, which is prime.
