Heh. If that had been the word, I'd be out of luck and it would be my own
fault for going twice in a row.

grutch ? signet Nice "word" (?), but please establish its validity.

I think that either Rane has made a mistake scoring, or this word is not in
my dictionary (which wouldn't be immensly surprising).

I'll be sure to do that. I suspect that "unease" should have been a 0.

Well then, unless there's another mistake, this word isn't in my dictionary.

About time we found a word that's not in your dictionary. That's no
excuse, you know. :)

You need to cite a verifiable dictionary citation for "grutch" (or, anyone
else could, if they can find it). I will cite such for *this* word, if
everyone gives up (I hope not.. 8^}).

No, I had no idea what it meant. But I knew the word was uroc_s, and I knew
a lot of letters that the fifth letter wasn't, so I guessed. If Kent were
here, he'd probably argue that I shouldn't win. :)

Yeah, you shouldn't win :) Actually, sometimes you have to guess, but
I think it's part of the fun finding the meaning of the word. Even more
so when it's not in the first three dictionaries you try ;)
