Trying to find the connection to ologies... thana? thanaoligies... no...hmmmm...thanat? thanatologies?

cool word

missed the highest points by 3 (549 vs 552) but it was worth it to find this.

seems like it should be worth more points

study of death. more to it but if if you're intested, you'll look it up

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 got autoallopolyploid

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.

I laughed when this word was accepted. I saw -mongers and searched for something to add to it. Then I wondered... WONDERMONGERS (24/13)! I love this game, so entertaining...
WONDERMONGER: a person who tells of or works wonders

Oh my gosh!!! LOVE IT! I am definitely going to be a WONDERMONGER when/if I grow up!

That was sweet of you to post that, rose. Thank you.

Lalatan pasted together this doozy:

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!

[iBnutz]

Oh come on lalatan. Now I KNOW you're just making them up! unsexagintillionth really??
I play just to get one of your words someday. Thanks for challenging me

Like a contrary gerbil?

Got a chuckle out of that. Very witty.

[mdyak]

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.

Yeah, go for it, mdyak! If you start a new thread for it, I'll contribute.

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.

What could be more obscure than OBSCURENESSES (19/13)? SUBOBSCURENESSES (30/16), perhaps? Not so. SUBOBSCURE: Somewhat dark or obscure; (Botany and Zoology) somewhat dark and dingy in colour. (I guess it's shorter than typing SOMEWHATOBSCURENESSES )

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!
