I didn't know that one, but I have played "ympe" a couple times. I think your word is even harder to spot. Great job (again).

Been looking for this word recently and finally found it on a board played 40 times.

Nice find. It is nice when we make an unexpected discovery.

So... I don't actually have a very large active vocabulary, I just know a good number of prefixes, suffixes, and Latin and Greek root words, and occasionally manage to cobble together something good.
I just found the word "lithology" in a 4x4 - study of rocks, pretty straightforward, I thought, and then I noticed the prefix "aero" just sitting there next to it.
Long story short, AEROLITHOLOGY is an acceptable word, referring to the study of meteorites. Makes sense, but I wasn't actually expecting the combination to work!

Woo Hoo ... I just played a game I had played previously - no, I didn't beat my score, yet that's so unexpected. A great New Year present!

Just got points for REMOTECONTROLLERS, which is not a compound word I've seen anywhere else.

STONKS scores points.

(Actual dictionary definition of STONK: a heavy artillery bombardment.)

I just found HEMAGGLUTININS on three consecutive boards, without turning down any boards in between. Even with boards being seeded with long words these days, what are the chances of the exact same 14-letter word showing up on three in a row?

Very odd! I'm guessing those monkeys will be close to completing Hamlet soon!

Just got points for BEERLESS.

There's an Australian song made famous by Slim Dusty from the 1950s called, "A Pub With No Beer" about a pub here in Queensland that was, well, um, beerless

"Oh it's-a lonesome away from your kindred and all
By the campfire at night we'll hear the wild dingoes call
But there's-a nothing so lonesome, morbid or drear
Than to stand in the bar of a pub with no beer"

[DrPlacebo]

And NOMMED. I may or may not have been thinking about food.

Well they still don't accept nage.
