word suggestion: stepdad
« on: August 14, 2023, 07:31:46 AM »
I know Alan doesn't care for comments about surprise to find a word missing, so I'll skip that comment  >:D  but I did expect stepdad to be accepted and even be classified as common. If the word list is also missing stepmom and stepmum, I think they should also be added. (I'm assuming stepfather and stepmother are already accepted.)

I agree 100% (even though I didn’t play the puzzle).

I tried stepdad and was most surprised it wasn’t accepted.

Oddly enough we already allow stepmum and stepmom as rare words. I'll add stepdad.
