Working with the word list I have, there is only one word that fits the clues
so far. The scoring of my hint is exactly what I expected it to be.
(There were two words, and emotion was one of them.)

To review the scores:
opossum 1
referee 0
stadium 1
message 0
handful 0
uniform 0
element 1
spelunk 0
elected 1
bookend 1
oatmeal 0
emotion 4
romance 1
You're not gonna get me in two items in one day, Jim. ;} I've reviewed the
scores carefully, and there are indeed at least two words that fit the clues.
Now, the clever solver may be able to figure out why I'm so confident that
(a) there are two words and (b) I'm almost positive you're thinking of the
wrong one. *smile*

exotica 7 (aruba)
Mark's up! =}
(I presume blaise's wordlist gave him "erotica," based on "romance.")

That's what I figured it probably was too. I'll come up with a word soon.

Weird; earlier when I tried, exotica didn't come up, but now it does.
