Unless my tallying of the scoring so far is faulty, I can find no candicate
words to satisfy. Here's a test case anyway:

Well, even if you can't find the word in your dictionary, you should
be able to logic it out now...

Right. The word has to be "picryl", which is in the dictionary Grex uses to
make sure passwords aren't real words, but isn't in my roommate's dictionary
or on www.m-w.com. What's it mean?

That is, item 102 in the language conference, in case any of you are reading
this in other conferences.)

I'll keep this one going too, for anyone who still wants to play. After all,
my brain has been hard-wired for 5 years now to pick interesting 6-letter
words out of whatever I'm reading. As a result I am almost always thinking
of a 6-letter word.
