(can someone clarify? I could have sworn that word combinations were legit.)

The word must be a recognized as a *word* - i.e., appear in a
dictionary (any dictionary, though). Some "word combinations" would,
of course, qualify: e.g. hatbox.

I'm in a hurry right now and can't find "biteme" in the three
dictionaries close by. The only word I can find that comes close
is "bireme" (a kind of ship). Let me suggest that if a word
is not likely to be verified quickly, that the guesser put a
short definition in parens. And yes, I see that "biteme" can be
"bite me".

Seriously, after the "prusik" verification hassle I had, I'm very
sympathetic toward words I've never seen before, but I don't have
a lot of spare time to verify them myself. Had I known "prusik"
would entail so much time responding I would have put its definition
in with my original guess.

I think we're doing single 6-letter words here (no names, no punctuation).

BTW, the rules for this game are in /u/rcurl/lettermatch.rules. Just
beware that they're the five letter rules and this is the six letter
version of the game.

Just kibitzing: I don't know kentn's word, but "tennis" looks very promising.

tenuis 6 (carson) <<=== A Winner!
(What the heck is "tannis"? I let it go since carson guessed the word,
but I'd still like to hear what that means).
Congratulations carson! Have at it...

My first reaction was to ask "What the heck is tenuis?".
But I looked it up in the dictionary, and there it was. Nice word.
