When I showed Carol the list of words we've used in the past, she suggested
making a rule that anyone who's "it" be required to use his or her word in
a sentence at least 5 times in the next week.  :)

Hi Jin, welcome to the 6-letter word game!  The rules are that every guess
must be a real English word, and I don't believe "shaked" is, so i can't
count your guess.  Please stick around and try again, though.

Wouldn't "to shake" mean to apply shakes to a roof? Hence, the roof was
shaked.

Here are a collection of examples of the use of shaked from the Oxford
English Dictionary Online. None refer to roof shakes, but are rather just
the past tense of shake. You will find some illustrious authors in the
list. There are many more, but these will convey the usage. The use does
not seem to have survived the 18th century.
