The lexicographical solution was introduced by Sakawa and Nishizaki (Fuzzy Sets and Systems 61 (1994) 265-275) as a solution for crisp TU games, and then extended as a value for fuzzy TU games. We approach the problem by means of the close relationship that exists between the lexicographical solution for crisp TU games and the least square nucleolus, a crisp value defined by Ruiz et al. (Internat. J. Game Theory 25 (1996) 113-134). Previously, and also based on this relationship, we axiomatically characterize the equalizer solution for fuzzy TU games. Both values, the equalizer and the lexicographical solutions, are based on the consideration of a measure of dissatisfaction of players rather than coalitions. %~
