Yesterday's Wordiply

[pat]

For those who don't know, Wordiply is a game where you're given a sequence of 3 or 4 letters and you have 5 goes to find the longest word containing those letters, in that sequence.

Yesterday's offering was ICER. I'd be willing to bet that not many people found the longest word (you're not told how many letters it contains). Have a go, see if you can get it (but not if you played the game of course!)

It doesn't look as if anyone is going to stick their neck out on this one so I'll tell you what the longest 'common' word was - it was tricerotopses.

The best I managed was coppicers (all plurals are allowed in that game).

I thought of quasiceremonial but I could see it wasn't in any dictionary, so probably wouldn't be allowed.

You should have tried it anyway, Alan. It tells you if you submit an invalid word.
