    I found it before and I just played it again yesterday for 32 pts/2 records: OVOVIVIPAROUSNESS. The first time I couldn't remember the exact spelling of it so tried about 5 times to get it right but now it's locked into my brain.

    Last month
    I spotted -phobias on a board along with 2 m's to-
    gether. I came up with SYMMETROPHOBIAS for 28 pts/2 records. Never heard of it before......... Building words I never heard of before is 1 of the fun-
    nest aspects of playing this game for me. I wonder how many pe-
    ople are affected by
    this phobia worldwide................................... I'm certainly not.
    They must break out in a cold sweat every time they see a document in justified format.

    Nice job, currerbell! I didn't know that INNOVATORY was a word ... will have to keep eyes open for it.

    And while I am feeling brash enough to come out of hiding briefly, I will wistfully remember the 4x4 board where I found HABERDASHERY last month. My second-favorite word ever. (CANTANKEROUSNESS is simply the best.) Alas, I was so excited I got all fluttery and did not see that it had a plural (for 14 letters and 16 points). So much for the February 2020 records.

    And off I go. Anyone else having trouble sleeping these days? Thank goodness for this game.

    Umm, this is rather uninspired compared to everyone else's labyrinthine* and innovatory* words, but I would like to point out that I just played a board that 22 -- twenty-two -- people had played before me, and I was the first person to find INTERCOURSE. The irony. The disbelief. You can bet I made a screen shot of that one. (I hope that isn't illegal.)

    *Yes, I used the thesaurus

    I found an unlikely word: RESURRECTIONISE. I didn't expect it to work, I was going for resurrectionist, but couldn't find the last T, so I veered over to the E instead. The dictionary didn't even have an entry for it, but I got 28 points and a new record.

    MACADAMIZATION. Not something we think about much today because macadam has been considered obsolete for a century now...

    You put me to shame, Kate! When I see that a game has been played 44 times, I'm reluctant to try to get a better score unless I'm feeling really optimistic! Way to go!

    I'll say! Finding a 15 letter word when the previous high was only 9? That's a blowout!
