The strange, the bizarre and the unexpected

Since your average score is 1122.27272727. . . I can guarantee that I will never achieve that. Not in this version of reality, anyway.

Unexpectedly scored points for POKAL(S). Tried it because it's the word for a cup trophy or competition in German sports (WM-Pokal = World Cup trophy, DFB-Pokal = German Cup). Turns out it's also an archaic English word for a tall drinking cup.

I just got supercalifragilisticexpialidocious on the 6x6 board, crushing my previous longest word record (25).
Well then.

Congratulations Qlaudie!! 58 pts. 34 letters you now hold the record for both the highest scoring and longest word ever found in WordTwist

Congratulations, Qlaudie!

If I saw it (which I wouldn't), I would never be able to spell it in time. Hunt and peck, hunt and peck. I'd only get as far as the 't'

Ah, you're right - the 36 letter word is still out there waiting to be found. The first 34 though is still quite good. :-)

[Qlaudie]

It's 34 not 36, but I'll take it! Thank you!

[admin]

Congrats! You are the first to find a 36-letter word on Wordtwist. :-)

I just accidentally scored points for PEPSI. (Accidentally entered it while intending to type PEPSIN.)

The definition for PEPSI that is linked in the word list is:

Definition of Pepsi
1. Noun. Pepsi Cola is a trademarked cola.

Exact synonyms: Pepsi Cola
Generic synonyms: Cola, Dope

Definition of Pepsi
1. Proper noun. A brand of carbonated cola non-alcoholic drink produced by the company Pepsi.

2. Noun. A portion (a glass, a can, a bottle, etc.) of Pepsi.

So, uh...

I guess GUMMI is now a generic term.

I did not expect to actually score points for MIRANDIZE -- I thought it was still considered only informal shorthand for giving the Miranda warning, not an actual English word.

I guess you could also have "mirandized" and "mirandizing". I wonder if the z to s shift would be accepted, too.

Some places in Greenland are both roadless and toadless. Btw, my phone's spell check underlines "toadless" but not "roadless", seeming to think that the latter is a genuine word while the former isn't.

I swear I have seen "roadless" used many times to describe remote and unvisited places (some near my birthplace). Synonyms include "trackless", "untrammeled", and "pathless".

Evidently, it's also possible to be "toadless" but not to be "roadless." Surely in many rural/natural areas, roadlessness is more common than toadlessness.
