Gallant Efforts

[DrPlacebo]

No such thing as an UNNATURALIST, unfortunately.

There's terror, but there's no SUPERTERROR.

I tend to think you might find a lot of POSTERMEN at scientific conferences. Alas, not in the lexicon.

[BoggleOtaku]

UNCOLA didn't make the lexicon.

Something that's arguably void isn't VOIDISH.

Also, from the same board, they're still not awarding points for COVID, though I figure that's going to start scoring points sooner or later.

You can witness something mindbending, but apparently it cannot leave you MINDBENT. Things that I would argue leave me mindbent include the German language (see above).

Right, or Zahnpastatubenverschlusskappe or Sollbruchstellenverursacher. Wordtwist would be more interesting in German.

It has been 58 years since I took German. Back in the 60s it was expected that you knew German if you were going to study chemistry. After two years of German in high school I decided to study biology instead.

Well... It could be known as a church state, or even a church-state, but not without the space or the hyphen. Not in English, at least. In German, that's absolutely how words work.

A theocracy is not also known as a CHURCHSTATE.

A gallant effort that suprisingly paid off: stubborning

I was going to type "stubbornness". I got to "stubborn" then realised there wasn't another "n", so I used "ing" instead. I was shocked that it was accepted. I cannot find a definition of it anywhere.

The lesson here? Keep trying those gallant effort words. You never know when it will pay off.

I can be a big CARBIVORE around holidays, but Wordtwist doesn't seem to think that's a thing.

If you find HANDSCAPED and get no points for it, you may want to look for other letters nearby that allow you to spell HANDICAPPED.

You can hither. You can thither. At some point you may even have hithered. Unfortunately cannot thithered.
