Hi Alan,

Just a small anomaly I believe - 'smirch' was a rare word but 'smirches' was the main common which I didn't get because smirch was rare so I didn't try it with an 'es' added ...

There was one common word I did not get in yesterday's 7 by many puzzle = rewashes. I did not even try it because 'rewash' came up as rare. I think this is an anomaly - I'm not fussed which way around but the 2 words need to have the same status, please Alan ...

Words / Daily Puzzle 14 May 2023 - SPOILER ALERT!
« on: May 14, 2023, 10:27:46 PM »
Hi Alan,

In today's Daily Puzzle, I put in the word 'gallow' which came up as a rare word = fair enough. I put in 'gallows' which came up as unknown. Yes, it is adding a simple 's' to the word but it is a 'gallows', used as a single word where people are hung or other stuff is hung up. I believe there is a case for adding 'gallows' as a common.

Thanks,

Words / Re: Saturday 22 January Challenge MALACHITE puzzle

I believe malachite should be common but, with the same logic, other natural stones including gem stones should also be common, e.g. beryl, peridot etc. As part of my rhino collection, I have at least 6 malachite ones, discovered in Prague, Australia, Barcelona ...

Words / Plural?
« on: June 21, 2021, 04:29:20 PM »
Hi,

A word that could have been made from yesterday's Standard puzzle - leaves. While the argument could be made that this word should not be allowed because it is just adding an 's' to 'leave', it is also the plural of 'leaf', i.e. a perfectly valid word.

Happy pondering ... I'll leave you to it!

Words / Childhood Diseases
« on: December 15, 2020, 04:35:41 PM »
It's been a while since I have made word suggestions or even contributed to the forum - thought it was about time when I realised that this word was not recognised in the 7 by Many puzzle of 15 December 2020:

     mumps - there would definitely not be a single form of the word ...

What about other childhood diseases?

Cheers,

Rhino

Alan, I think I may have discovered an anomaly and you know how much I love to find anomalies as a challenge for you … recolor is happily accepted but not recolour - it's not known.

Word cheers,

Words / "S" word - spoiler - Standard 18 August
« on: August 18, 2016, 11:45:50 AM »
Hi all, suggest "grounds" should be added as a common word in its own right.  It is not just a plural but used in the context of coffee grounds, grounds for divorce, sporting grounds etc.

Over to you for discussion ...

100% agree with TRex! I think that "kerb" should be reinstated as common and "tyre" should remain common ...

Next time, try updating the scores manually by clicking on the green double arrow icon below "sign out" before exiting ... should fix the issue.

Words / "S" word - spoiler - Standard 26 January
« on: January 26, 2015, 12:40:03 PM »
Hi all,

What do you think of the word "hops", i.e. a prime ingredient for making beer? It was rejected as an "s" variation of "hop" in today's Standard puzzle but I think there is a good case (of beer) for adding it as a common ...
