GentlePurpleRain

@ZaniXu Words that you normally see only in a crossword, not in common speech.

Zani Xu

ManyPinkHats

Crosswordese generally refers to words that show up significantly more often in crosswords than in day-to-day stuff

Zani Xu

Anyone up for a game of spyfall?

quartata

10:00 PM

201 was STYGIMOLOCH

GentlePurpleRain

of course.

It was on the tip of my tongue...

quartata

It's probably not a distinct species, hence the question mark

Zani Xu

Does anyone want to play spyfall/

GentlePurpleRain

I think the lack of response the last time you asked probably indicates a "no".

You can use an old word, too. That's okay. :P

GentlePurpleRain

Nope.

quartata

Don't think I've ever seen someone do a two letter word but
