Knowing who was running the game helped because "stomata" isn't obscure enough for either kentn or aruba. So I'm thinking of a seven-letter word that is not stomata 0 (lastword)

Hey now, I use common words sometimes. Sometimes they're whatever happens to be on the page of the book Carol's reading. ;) element
