    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.

    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!
