Word suggestion: pervy
« on: November 09, 2018, 07:21:58 PM »
I tried pervy in yesterday's 10 letter puzzle but no dice.  Pervier and perviest were also there but I didn't try them because pervy wasn't accepted.  A quick search showed that pervy appears in at least seven online dictionaries including the Oxford.  Worth adding to the Chi list, I think, along with the comparative and superlative forms.

You beat me to it, Morbius.
All three words are in the COD, along with perv and perve.

Thirded. I expected pervy to be accepted, and when it wasn't didn't try the comparative and superlative.
