Yes please. I'll take a letter, but I don't think it's going to help me. I'm stumped.

Not sure this word meets the criteria, but I believe it's good...

Sorry, didn't see your request earlier, Raggedy. (I was busy with your Movie question!) Yes, EMPURPLED is valid, Tim. PLUMPENED would have been, too.

I am fairly certain that "relegations" is not a word. (And I am even more sure that it is a dead end.)

I am fairly certain that relegations is a word and it does appear in the dictionary.

Fine, but I do not find it in a search of their on-line dictionary. Do you find otherwise?

Well, tw, www.m-w.com does not list the plurals of nouns. But if it were not a valid word, it would say "the word you've entered isn't in the dictionary" or something like that. Since I don't get that screen, I know that it's a valid word for our game.

Well, I learn something new every day. (I guess that--not being clearer about plural forms--is another reason why I don't use mw. The first is their kowtowing to PC idiots, but that's fodder for a different discussion.)

I retract my objection. Very Happy
