Maneuver

[pat]

I was surprised to see maneuver as a seed word in yesterday's 7-by-many. Mention of this word (vs manoeuvre) was made by TRex in this thread https://theforum.lexigame.com/index.php?topic=3106.msg50691#msg50691 and I agree with him that when the spelling of a word is significantly different between countries (as opposed to words ending in ise/ize) then that word shouldn't be a seed word.

Wow, Pat — that was seven and one-half years ago and I forgot I wrote that! Amazing memory!

Amazing memory I wish, TRex. I found the post when I searched to see if maneuver had been raised previously!

Good to see you posting, though. I hope that means things are improving for you and continue to do so into the new year.

I agree.

There are quite a few related words that are classed as common, and will in future be rare:

MANEUVER
MANEUVERED
MANEUVERING
MANEUVERABLE
MANEUVERABILITY
MANOEUVRE
MANOEUVRED
MANOEUVRING
MANOEUVRABLE
MANOEUVRABILITY

Some of these, of course, would never appear in any puzzle anyway.

Good decision, Alan. Thank you.
