  • 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

        • Just once I'd like to guess the word.

          Do you guys have any searching tips?

          • 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.

              • 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.

                  • So if I don't have a physical dictionary around I'm at a bit of a disadvantage...

                        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.

                              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.
