Untongued IS a word
« on: August 17, 2007, 04:18:59 PM »
In another topic, Colhad said:

Untongued should be a word, dammit!!! >:( :P

Colhad, untongued is a word, gorblimey! The Shorter Oxford says it means without a tongue, tongueless. I'll add it to the word list when it's next updated, but of course that won't make it available for today's puzzle. And since it's a nine-letter word, it will be a long time before the letters come up again. Sorry about that.

Good catch, Alan. In my mind, though, I thought he meant that those nasty words were disallowed, and he had become "un-tongued", or muted! Funny, how people read things so differently. I would have never taken it so literally.

Maybe he'll explain it, and you might well have seen it where I did not!  :angel:

Hello Alan, apropos words not allowed, I had "caddies" refused this morning much to my surprise because one can have tea or golf caddies.  What say you?   Nenneke

Actually, I wasn't sure if it was. I tried it in the puzzle the other day and just said it cos I was mucking around.

Must have known more than I thought. :P

Hi Col,
Nice piccy....How you doin??? Busy later....fancy popping round for dinner...? a massage....Anything [and i mean anything] at all ???

When you look at some of the words that are valid, any suggestion, no matter how ridiculous it may seem, is worth a try....You never know!!
Well done on getting all the common words though....it does get easier the more you play....

Just thought I'd pop in while I'm having my lunch and saw the piccy Colhad posted!!!!!!  I know that isn't you Col, but please tell me who is it?  Where can I find him before T gets her claws into him?  Quick, before she does some research and finds him!  >:D

That's never George Clooney .... I pasted the pic into a word doc to have a closer look (just in the interests of research, natch) and he's far too good looking to be GC!  He is v. delish whoever he is!  >:D
