Word suggestion: mailout
« on: August 23, 2018, 08:40:18 PM »
I tried this unsuccessfully in yesterday's 10 letter puzzle.  Although it's more often written as mail out or mail-out, it is listed as a single word in several dictionaries and I've seen it written that way in corporate settings quite frequently.  I'd suggest adding it as a rare word.

You're right, Morbius. Mailout as a single word is given by some dictionaries, including Dictionary.com and Wiktionary. It can mean either the act of mailing out a newsletter or circular, etc, or the item mailed out. It can be used in relation to physical mail or email.

It appears the mail-out version is used more often, but mailout is also used, as you say.

It will be accepted from now on as a rare word.
