foulup 0 (aruba)
(The scoring on the word has not fouled up yet, in case you were
wondering. And no, this word is not impossible to find, though
it is not in free part of m-w.com)

Oh, I didn't mean to imply anything - I was just guessing.

Hmmm....
score(canoes) = score(canoe-) + score(-----s) = 0
=> score(-----s) = 0
score(divers) = score(diver-) + score(-----s) = 5
= score(diver-) + 0 = 5
=> score(diver-) = 5
since score(diver-) = 5 , score(hobno-) = 0
score(hobnob) = score(hobno-) + score(-----b) = 1
= 0 + score(-----b) = 1
=> score(-----b) = 1
thus
score(diverb) = score(diver-) + score(-----b)
= 5 + 1
= 6
I will leave it to Kent to provide the definition of my guess:
diverb

diverb 6 (gelinas) ---> Ding! Ding! Ding! Winner!
Your word, Joe!
From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) :
Diverb \Di"verb\, n. [L. diverbium the colloquial part of a
comedy, dialogue; di- = dis- + verbum word.]
A saying in which two members of the sentence are contrasted;
an antithetical proverb. [Obs.]
Italy, a paradise for horses, a hell for women, as the
diverb goes. --Burton.

All right, I'm thinking of a 6-letter word that is not:
botany 0 (The Previous Word)
A summary of guesses on the current word is in ~kentn/letter.match6.
