It's possible to prove now that the word must be "scroggy". I don't have
time to write up the proof now - it's more complicated than usual, I think.

(Where scrog=A stunted shrub, bush, or branch.)

I was procrastinating today, so here's a proof that scroggy is correct:
plumbum 0 (Previous Word) Sat Jun 4 12:37:02 2005
element 0 (aruba)
cutaway 1 (aruba)
cuticle 0 (aruba)
shingle 2 (blaise)
springs 3 (aruba)
asshole 0 (naftee)
springy 4 (naftee)
acrobat 3 (blaise)
score(springs) = 3, score(springy) = 4
==> score(spring-) = 3, score(------y) = 1
score(asshole) = 0 ==> score(a------) = 0
score(plumbum) = 0 ==> score(----b--) = 0
1 = score(cutaway) = score(cutawa-) + score(------y) = score(cutawa-) + 1
==> score(cutawa-) = 0 ==> score(-----a-) = 0
score(element) = 0 ==> score(------t) = 0
So score(a---bat) = 0. But score(acrobat) = 3, so
score(-cro---) = 3.
score(-cro---) = 3 ==> score(-hin---) = 0
score(cuticle) = 0 ==> score(-----le) = 0
So score(-hin-le) = 0. But score(shingle) = 2, so score(s---g--) = 2.
So we have score(scrog-y) = 6. But
4 = score(springy) = score(s-r---y) + score(-p-in--) + score(-----g-)
= 3 + 0 + score(-----g-)
so score(-----g-) = 1. Therefore score(scroggy) = 7.
