    It took me 30 seconds to spot CHOWDERHEADEDNESSES (36/19). Got a chuckle when it was accepted. I've heard the term before but didn't know what its meaning was.
    CHOWDERHEAD: Noun. (US informal pejorative) An idiot; a dummy
    That is quite the insult; in essence saying that your intelligence is such that your head seems to be filled with a creamy soup. lol

    I've learned there is one board with AUTOALLOPOLYPLOID on it and one board that only ALLOPOLYPLOID is available. I've played the former twice now and didn't miss it.

    Keep at it and it'll happen for you. (I've played 81k games so far.) You'll start to see patterns and it'll get easier for you. Enjoy the quest!

    Got a chuckle out of that. Very witty.

    Ah, but if it had been there would semidemisemiradicalnesses have been acceptable? Quinquasexideciradicallnesses? And for everyone who knows what a radicle is, it seems perfectly clear that radiclenesses should be a word, too. I'll bet a lot of prefixes should hook right on there.
    Love all of these! More fun than actually playing.

    I just played a board where the best/longest word seemed to be RADICALNESSES (19/13). Right in front of it was mini- so I tried MINIRADICALNESSES and was denied. A miniradical wouldn't be whole-hog radical, just a little bit.

    Oh, let's do this! Let's invent a new Boggle game of all made-up or sort of half made-up words. I love SOMEWHATOBSCURENESSES!
