    Was typing "nudnik"when time ran out.

    Anyone know if nudnik and nudniks is accepted yet? It's in Lexic, but...

    I thought about you as we recently discussed this. Funny, I didn't find STAINLESSNESSES...

    Best word: STRAINLESSNESSES (30 pts.) New record!
    Longest word: STRAINLESSNESSES (16 letters) New record!
    Congrats on finding STRAINLESSNESSES!! :-D

    Had darshan/darshans queued up but... bzzzzzzz!

    Darshan is the act of perceiving God or someone/something holy/sacred. If you're Hindu.

    Anyone ever played it and gotten it accepted?

    Facient is not currently accepted in Wordtwist, but it is found in a new word list we will be adding to the game near the end of this year. (As is amimia/amimic, posted elsewhere recently.)

    Just played immunifacient, then tried facient... didn't take, so tried again, but time ran out.

    Were my fingers just clumsy or does WortTwist not take facient?

    It's a perfectly legitimate word that means a doer, or in math a variable of a quantic.

    I was just playing a new board, and my high-scoring word was STAINLESSNESSES... then just as time was about to run out, I realized that I could also play STRAINLESSNESSES. I started typing and the bell rang, and I never got to find out if it would count. If anyone plays this board and gets a chance at STRAINLESSNESSES, I'd love to know if it worked! :-D

    You can always message Stephen. I suspect (don't know and don't want to speak for him) that adding words to the dictionary one at a time would be kind of time-consuming, and while not entirely thankless perhaps not nearly as rewarding as the accomplishment of necessary maintenance and program upgrades and creating new boards, etc.

    First game of the day, and there it was: kairos. No, it is not accepted here. Typed it twice and made sure I'd spelled it correctly. No go.
    Thanks for trying.

    Kind of sad. What a wonderful word.

    Is there a means to submit words for acceptance? I know that over time some words are now accepted that once were not.

    Well, I'm sure I entered it: eutocia.

    Without eutocia, most of us wouldn't be here.

    Why, oh why, doesn't Wordtwist accept eutocia?

    Does it prefer dystocia?

    LOL ... This word (& comment) reminded me that recently I was reading the credits of a new show I began watching & I realized the music was Peter Gabriel (now I know he hasn't been a member of Genesis for a long time). I love how his music expands into different genre's & wasn't just for popular radio play. Of course now I can't remember exactly which of the 2 new shows (Servant or The Morning Show) I recently began to watch he was @ the end of, yet I am excited to hear the music. That music was certainly psychogenetic.

    And so here I am just finishing a game, a decent game for me, and proud that I found indeterminablenesses for 38 points, and all the parts of that nice word. And with just a few seconds to go, I spotted "undeterminablenesses". Is that a word, too? Can't be, can it? But I typed as fast as my fingers could, and got most of the word in as time ran out.
    And discovered that the most points was indeed 38. For "undeterminablenesses". But I could feel good that I scored nearly 600, that I averaged almost 8 points per word, and that I had the most points scored on that board -- something like 30 more, on 20 fewer words, probably because of all the high-point words. Small successes, to be sure, but I will take them.
