Title: The challenge TECHNOCRAT game
Post by: Jacki on March 18, 2020, 10:19:29 PM

I got every common word -73 of them - before I got the main word - TECHNOCRAT - which at word 72 I thought I had solved by going "Aha!" and entering TRENCHCOAT. Word not accepted.  What? I tried it again, thought I must have entered it incorrectly. Not known. Turns out it's two words.
I would have bet every dollar I had on that being the word. Live and learn every day. As for technocrat, I'm  certainly not one if I haven't heard of it before!

The second word I played - after trench - and I do admit to being slightly miffed when it got 'sorry, not known'.

A later check showed, however, that although Wiktionary does, indeed, give it as one word, (an alternative spelling (?) of trench coat) other, more reliable, dictionaries show it as two.

One of my all time favourite movies was The Party.
