Carson. I see no evidence that you are correct from reading
/u/rcurl/lettermatch.rules, which I understand to be the definitive document
(except for the 5-6 letter part).
Besides, to my knowledge we've never permitted combinations of words
unless they are legitimate words in their own right (e.g., dimwit).

Groovy, I must have a word that rcurl doesn't know. :-)
To the best of my knowledge "miseat" is not a word.
It couldn't have been my word even so - consider "halvah 0 (aruba)"

I don't know lots of words. Since this game started, my dictionary has
lost its front cover and pages are curling. I bet Kent has it. How long
did you search the dictionary, Kent?

I know that miseat can't work, but my dictionary implies that one
can put the prefix "mis" (wrong, wrongly) on *any* verb, and that
dictionaries only include the most common, or deviant, uses.

To eat wrongly? hmm... interesting concept.

I misate a mushroom, and got sick.

Hmm. Any verb at all? Really?
To miserr, to mispretend, and to mis<x> where <x> is anything that there
really is no way to do incorrectly strike me as nonsense.
Having thought about it this much though, I guess I'd have todmit
that miseat could *conceivably* mean choking on your food.
I can't see it meaning mistakenly eating, as in your example.
I think if you misate a poisonous mushroom in that sense, it might preserve
your health rather than make you sick. Anyway you convinced me to
give you the count on that word, except for the fact that you can calculate
it yourself if you care because, as you suspected, we have a WINNER!
wisent 6 (kentn) !!!
A wisent is an old world bison. I have seen them in zoos. they're cool.
Congratulations, Kent, you now have the baton.

I misate a mushroom once. Bit the hell out of my tongue. So don't
you miseat mushrooms!
Okay...next time I'm on, I'll be thinking of a six letter word.

Sounds like srw misagrees with kentn's dictionary.
