I have fixed the type-ins now so that exact answers are required. (Although because there's so many options, you may get an answer accepted before you expected to)

Is "stimming" not in the scrabble dictionary?
Stewart

Level 68
Mar 1, 2022
Nope, I suspect it's too new. Merriam-Webster says it was 1983 when it was first mentioned, being a contraction of "self-stimulating".

Stewart, I think you could change the last green clue to read "which ends in "-a" to make it a little more challenging. Reading down, people already know the two vowels are the same, and it makes it somewhat harder to start from the bottom and go up. Fun quiz though!

For the green category, once the second clue came up ("...which contains exactly two vowels"), I tried "any" because I saw it in the clue above, and it's a valid word. However, the quiz didn't acknowledge it as a valid answer, supposedly because it didn't accept the "Y" as a vowel. I tested "icy" afterwards to see if that worked, and I got the same problem. I strongly encourage adding words that use "Y" as a vowel for that particular clue, since they do still follow the rules.

It's not about that, obviously, but the fact that it's debatable wether it's an actual word.

Gosh, sometimes the snarkiness of people so full of themselves on this website gets tiring.

Spamming fits all the criteria. According to my junk mail folder, it is definitely a common leisure activity to some.

It does say "most relevant", and I think you'd find it tough to justify "queried" is as relevant as "quizzed" :)
