That's the first time I've ever knowingly got a maven. As you know I usually try to avoid rare words but I went bust early on (with 'feistily' for what it's worth) and was lessy fussy after that!

When I found out I'd missed funguses, my head exploded so much that a mushroom cloud appeared!

(Seriously though, is it common? I don't think I've ever seen fungus pluralised that way before, only as fungi.)

A real forehead-slapper, given the easiness of the missing word...

Apparently Muslims can eat all sea food, so if you find seashells in your plate, it should be halal ..

If they introduced a special prize for getting all the tricky words but missing the obvious ones, I wouldn't oppose it.

I'm not sure I agree with this. It all comes down to usage, and while it's easy to come up with and example of "tritest" (e.g. "that's the tritest thing I ever heard!"),, It's far more difficult to think of a sentence with "triter" in it that doesn't sound contrived.

I couldn't find any insignia either and I'm awing those who did.

(Actually, I'd never come across "awing" before. In fact when I read it originally I thought it must be the avian equivalent of "afoot" and would have pronounced it accordingly  ;D )

Without wanting to minimise the achievements of others, I was feeling so crotchety when I found out why I missed out on a rosette that my voice was literally quavering!
