my word is:

Yes, "looses" *is* a word, as in "to let loose". "You better get a good head
start before he looses the hounds on you!"

(so does loosee - "one who is loosed" - count as a word?)
Sure, I'll try it:
loosee

MW-online doesn't recognize "loosee", so you'll have to cite a source for
kentn to accept that word, I'd guess. Speaking of kentn... (!)

Next group...
apathy 0 (carson)
(According to my dictionary, one who loosens is a loosener, but one who is
loosed is not listed. Examples to support "loosed" in the OED were for
"loosed tongues" via too much wine, and a "loosed boat" from unmooring.
I could find no ready evidence to support "loosee" so...please provide
a cite. Thanks.)

(I don't have a cite either, I was just shooting blind, 'cause it really
_should_ be a word..)

A summary of guesses on the current word can be found in the file
/a/k/kentn/letter.match.
We've only had 13 guesses on this word, the last several getting
much closer to a solution, so it is not by any means a lost cause...
