Felid

Those are the only two words I see ... if it's considered cheating to guess as I have, i'll retract my second guess if it's right and someone else can have it - but it's technically within the rules.

Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

lol It is a word, but a very ... uncommon one. Felid is also a word - related to Feline, and/or a specific type of cat. But neither one exactly rolls off the tongue. (Third choice was Geoid, which i actually thought might be it, but waited fortunately until the L was guessed.)

A word guess can be made at any time, but you can't make a letter and a separate word guess simultaneously, though I doubt it is expressly forbidden in the rules.

Didn't matter this time, so just for future reference.

Perhaps it's time for another addition to the rules...

I'd just say:

If only one letter remains unguessed, only word guesses are allowed.

-OR-

If only one letter remains unguessed, letter guesses count as word guesses.

That way, the double-guess we saw here would be disallowed, because the first one would be counted as a word guess, and thus the player would get kicked out if it was wrong and not be able to make the second guess.

Letter guesses and word guesses simultaneously shouldn't be banned, but perhaps just go with "no letter guess when 1 letter is left".

I agree with the first part - but the second part doesn't apply. There were 2 letters left at the time.

Don't disagree with second, but it misses the point. You shouldn't be able to make a word and letter guess simultaneously at any time.

Why not? The rules explicitly say you can make a word guess AT ANY TIME. I'll give you that at 2 letters left and 1 remaining in the word it's sort of dodgy (i think i realize what people were saying ' 1 left ' and not meaning what I meant by it), but ... with 5 letters left, why not? Get a letter guess in, and then you suddenly see the word five minutes later - why penalize you?

wins the first letter guess, AND seeing absurdly obvious words by thinking outside the box, something snoopy369 is not so good at apparently.
