I was trying various variant spellings (including papad) but none worked And given that there is no “standard” spelling, it’s probably best that the word is not included.
Count me in as well with many attempts at poppadom, previously kebab was amusingly spelled kabob, so I felt anything was possible.
And cantrip even has its own wiki page. Get this joker a dose of Google, stat.
Funny you should say that…
Also, today (Monday) can fuck right off with JABOT. Are these puzzles set by frustrated tailors or something?
That was the second word I got. I’ll bet Sam (like me) has read a lot of period fiction.
I mind words that aren’t there, not words that are. ACTINIC annoys me. JABOT does not.
How do you feel about MILT?
Like MILO, a word I occasionally type in, as a gesture of futility.
Also annoyed!
I could have sworn that ILIA was accepted before
ILIA has never been accepted, but ILIUM has a bunch of times.
Isn’t today’s pangram a proper name? As far as I can tell, it should be capitalized.
Merriam-Webster has that word in lower case.
Although it says “often capitalized”, and dog-breeding guidelines say to capitalize breeds named after something, like Akita and Dalmatian, but not other types (golden retriever).
I think it’s really iffy.
I agree with RitterSport. And not just because I like the chocolate.
Haha! Hard to disagree with a Ritter Sport bar, that’s for sure. It’s square! Practical!
Yeah, they take several words that I consider proper nouns, e.g., Panama and Morocco, presumably because they commonly modify other terms, like hats and leather. I still think they shouldn’t be allowed.
Yet again, no “liana.” In even the simplest botany, this is almost as common and normal as the word “tree” or “shrub”!
I was unhappy they didn’t accept “milt.” But it’s not as bad as “liana” (to me).
All kinds of obscure Indian foods and yoga terms accepted, but standard English words like dado and milt not. And there are two words in today’s puzzle that are simply beyond me, beginning TI and TU,
Still no FENNEC or TIFFIN. No CENTILE either. Or ENCEINTE, although that’s probably too French.
