For those who favor conspiracy theories, hyperpseudoepidemiology.

Maybe now's a good time to find CATACLYSMICALNESSES.

HYPERPANDEMICIZATION

or for the Brits

HYPERPANDEMICISATION

[Spike1007]

I love how the world is falling apart, and we're still talking about finding cool words

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

I just found NONCARCINOGENIC in a board that had been played 44 times and the previous longest word record was something with 9 letters. I find things like that immensely gratifying.

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!

Never mind finding these words, how do you even know them?!?!

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!

[Brisul]

AAAARGH! Just found SQUEAMISHNESSES ... just as the timer ended. Board record was 16/8 ... pretty sure this would have beat it!

[RussDNails]

Had to Google that one! Nice find..............

[DrPlacebo]

Finally found ABSQUATULATES! Which is just a great word in general.

[RussDNails]

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,

Another one I think you were the first to find was SCRATCHBUILDERS. I also had seen that board more than once and found BUILDER and BUILDERS plus SCRATCH but never in a million years thought to tack them together. Now thanks to you I get it every time

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.
