I think Neckbeard > Nerd is a bit of a stretch, but I've really enjoyed this series of Kangaroo words!

Sure, that’s why it’s last in the series. I thought it was a fun one, but yes, very hard to guess.

Glad you enjoyed them.

"Zillionth" could also work for "nth."

Could you add the full words as accepted options for all? I tried typing them for Recurrence and Shutting and they didn't work.

Sorry, there was a typo on Recurrence. Shutting should have worked though. Thanks for letting me know, fixed now.
