    For those who favor conspiracy theories, hyperpseudoepidemiology.

    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!

    I just look for prefixes and suffixes, and then try to make a root word from what's left over! "NESSES" is a pretty common find on these boards, but the SQUEAMISH bit was hidden too well!

    So you'll definitely be the first to find ELECTROMAGNETOVALENCES

    I see the various prefixes a lot too but that's not my game and I don't dwell for much time on finding a lengthy word........I just type fast and if it comes, it comes. Most of the longer words I find are ones I've lucked into or have picked up and memorized from the pros like you..........

    Cheers,

    Russ

    The chemistry word is actually familiar to me--in real life I'm a med tech with a degree in biology and lots of chemistry classes under my belt. It's been many years now since my college days but some of the concepts stuck with me. Never would have found DIASTEREOISOMERISM on a boggle board anyway! Nice work. The plural for this should work too if there is another S in the right place on that board.

    Nice chatting with you--it's been a while!

    Best,

    Russ
    Yes, I was the first to play SCRATCHBUILDERS. I heard it on a British TV show about people building their own homes; otherwise, I wouldn't have known it was a word. I only knew of "baking from scratch" up to that point.

    You likely already know this but CHANDLER(S) are valid words, one of the many surnames taken from the trades.

    When I played DIASTEREOISOMERISM, I was careful to check for the plural and it wasn't available but thanks for the tip. I could use some more chemistry knowledge on some boards where I've seen methyl- and other chemistry terms but couldn't come up with a word. I was trained in telecom so that has come in handy for finding some electric/magnetic words. Just found ELECTROVALENCES earlier this month.

    It's always good to chat with you.
