FFS, didn't notice you had disallowed roschart as well. That's 3 perfectly good words you have disallowed - replate, unwon & roschart.

Here's an idea if you do this quiz again - next time use a dictionary that has, you know, the words of the English language in it.

[Tal]

That's lovely.

Now one from the Oxford Dictionary of English, as explained at the outset, if you would be so delicious.

Estrin is a well known medical term

How can it NOT be in the dictionary you are using?

estrin (es´trin),
n the generic term for the ovarian estrogens estriol, estrone, and estradiol.


Come on Simon, really

Its completely ruining my evenng

[MintTrav]

That's lovely.

Now one from the Oxford Dictionary of English, as explained at the outset, if you would be so delicious.

Sorry, didn't check that my words were in that dictionary. As I said, I assumed you were using one that had most of the words in the English language in it.

[tikay]

This is just superb, well done Spurs Bloke.

[Tal]

I mean no disrespect, Rich. I would genuinely much rather everyone picked words in the dictionary I selected at the start. I chose the one they use on Countdown, thinking this would be the best way.

I know the term estrin and I know upleapt.

But I set out the rules and, annoyingly, I'm bound to keep to them.

[Tal]

Milligooner should get 50 points for this answer.
