Sorry, fealola, but you added two letters there. (Plus, redealing/s is not found at www.m-w.com .)

Please continue from REALIGNED.

legerdemain

(I've been sitting here thinking, we're only two letters away from "legerdemain," but couldn't figure out how to bridge the gap!)

Good one, I didn't see that coming. I notice that def. 2 is a countable noun, so
LEGERDEMAINS is probably OK! Don't like it much though.

Amazingly, there is at least one word that can follow LEGERDEMAINS.

Add a Y to LEGERDEMAINS to get the next word.

Mac, I can't believe Asperger's with or without the apostrophe isn't in m-w (I believe you, I just am amazed it isn't there) do you call it something different in the States?

We call it Asperger's in the U.S., but I guess m-w just hasn't caught up with it yet.

Just out of curiosity (and boredom at work), I looked up a few other "named" diseases, and discovered that "Alzheimer's disease", "Parkinson's disease", and "Hodgkin's disease" are all listed in m-w. However, they're listed as parts of phrases, not as individual words, which means that "Alzheimer's", "Parkinson's", and "Hodgkin's" wouldn't be allowed for purposes of this game.
