It's not in Merriam-Webster, I guess.

This one isn't impossible to puzzle out, so keep guessing :)

What the heck, might as well eliminate a few letters, eh?

I "know" 4 of the 6 letters. And they don't add up to anything I know. How
about "iapipt"?

What is "iapipt"? I can't find it in any of the dictionaries
I looked in. (I'm guessing maybe it's a made-up word that fits
some of the remaining letters...but if it is a word, give me a
ref. Thanx)

All right, wise guy, how about:
immixt as a variant of "immixed"
Main Entry: immix Pronunciation: i-'miks Function: transitive verb
Etymology: back-formation from immixed mixed in, from Middle English immixte,
from Latin immixtus, past participle of immiscEre, from in- + miscEre to mix
-- more at MIX Date: 15th century : to mix intimately : COMMINGLE
- immixture: noun

If that's not it, I move we burn all Kent's dictionaries. :)

Looks my dictionaries are safe for the time being :-)
immixt 6 (albaugh) Ding! A Winner!
Congrats, albaugh, you are up!
I guess that was a little more obscure than I had intended.
It's hard to tell sometimes what will be difficult...plenty
of common letters in that word, so I thought it'd fall to
several good cross-guesses in short order. Sorry about that;
hope y'all enjoyed exercising yer brains (not including
pounding them, w/in heads, against the wall)!

OK, I'm thinking of another 6-letter word that's not:
immixt 0 (lastword)
