Hmmm.... 

        score(canoes) = score(canoe-) + score(-----s) = 0
                => score(-----s) = 0

        score(divers) = score(diver-) + score(-----s) = 5
                      = score(diver-) +      0        = 5
                => score(diver-) = 5

        since score(diver-) = 5 , score(hobno-) = 0

        score(hobnob) = score(hobno-) + score(-----b) = 1
                      =      0        + score(-----b) = 1
                => score(-----b) = 1

        thus

        score(diverb) = score(diver-) + score(-----b) 
                      =      5        +      1
                      =               6

I will leave it to Kent to provide the definition of my guess:

        diverb

  diverb  6  (gelinas)  ---> Ding! Ding! Ding! Winner! 

Your word, Joe!

  From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) :
  Diverb \Di"verb\, n. [L. diverbium the colloquial part of a
     comedy, dialogue; di- = dis- + verbum word.]
     A saying in which two members of the sentence are contrasted;
     an antithetical proverb. [Obs.]
  
           Italy, a paradise for horses, a hell for women, as the
           diverb goes.                             --Burton.

So I'm thinking of a six-letter word that is not

  diverb  0  (lastword)

Okay!  I'll try to have a new word in mind next time I'm on.

response 849 of 1013: Mark Unseen   Nov 24 19:36 UTC 2003

All right, I'm thinking of a 6-letter word that is not:
 
  botany  0  (The Previous Word)
 
A summary of guesses on the current word is in ~kentn/letter.match6.
