It's a very doctor-using type word.

I think that opinion in the United States is decidedly different from the rest of the world because we have a free press -- by free, I mean a virgorously presented right wing point of view on the air and available to all.- Ned -

Do you guys have any searching tips?...people like to cry a lot... - Pekka

Just keep a close watch when the word is almost complete.

Thanks Rah
Cali: I don't search, although I do sometimes check my Webster's to verify my guesses. I find it more challenging that way.~ If Tehben spits eggs at you, jump on them and throw them back. ~ Eventis ~ Eventis Dungeons & Dragons 6th Age Campaign: Chapter 1, Chapter 2, Chapter 3, Chapter 4: (Unspeakable) Horror on the Hill ~Comment

Once the first bit of the word is unraveled, you can search a physical dictionary for possibilities.
Other than that, you need a stroke of good fortune to catch the right time to make a guess.Comment

Not necessarily... I only use it to check the spelling of my guesses and to search for interesting words when I win. I'll admit that I stumbled across 'prophylaxis' when looking for something else, tho.Originally posted by Caligastia

I was searching online, and found 'prophylactic' but the entry didn't mention the derivative 'prophylaxis'. A proper dictionary would be more likely to have told me that, I imagine.Originally posted by Theben
