Another surprising rejection

[flops]

Had to have a little giggle that a lot of the words we use are not in normal dictionaries...I thinking that normal dictionaries are for normal people. One of my favourite things about you all is that you are not normal.

That to me would be no loss!

My wife would agree with you. I can take it either way. My objective is build new neural pathways in the old brain. Neural pathways apparently don't care whether the stimulus is logical, culturally acceptable or utter nonsense. Just like your muscles don't care whether the exercise is from gym weights, moving rocks in the garden, or carrying buckets of horse manure.

Soooooooo many words accepted that aren't in normal dictionaries. That a particular word fails to make Webster isn't the benchmark for Wordtwist.

I had muneration rejected. Typed it in 5 times because I was sure I was making a typing mistake. Finally dumped the game. Webster doesn't have it, but you can find it in numerous places.

If Webster were the standard, 1,000 point games would probably disappear. As would most of our highest scores.

I'm still stunned that hydrochlorofluorocarbons (i.e. plural) is not accepted! Apparently there is only one hydrochlorofluorocarbon existing on the planet. I've run into it twice and even complained about it (to no avail). It's especially frustrating because including it would expand the number of 24-letter words from 8 to 9... and I imagine everyone else is probably more than a little bored already with those 8.

You can also find it at https://wordinfo.info/results/fulgurize. I suspect it is a back formation from fulguration.

I found it here:

http://www.encyclo.co.uk/meaning-of-fulgurize

Most of the commonly used online dictionaries didn't have it though. When I tried to search for it on Google, the search engine went so far as to change my search to "fulgurite" because there were so few entries for "fulgurize" that they concluded I must have meant something else.

Compared to a lot of the more commonly known words that have been rejected by WordTwist, the omission of "fulgurize" doesn't seem very surprising at all.

I had the word "fulgurize" in a puzzle today, but it wasn't accepted. Disappointing.

According to Merriam-Webster the word doesn't exsist. So it the rejection is correct
