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.

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

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.

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.

lalatan, like you, I love building words that I've never seen before. However, I can't imagine that I would ever have cobbled OVOVIVIPAROUSNESS together. Now, of course, I'll look for the plural.
On another note, I was kind of under the impression that, since the migration last year, editing posts automatically made them spam. Obviously that's not true.

Actually, Spike, I knew that word from hearing or seeing it somewhere before. It was only the second word I never heard before.
lol, I tempted the system 1 too many times. I changed 1 line in my previous post because it was symmetrical with 1 other line. Now it's spam. Since Stephen may never approve it, here's the original post now hidden from view:
