We need a bot in here to keep time and validate patterns

I might fork Shiro later

7:05 PM

Is there a dictionary we use to check what words are valid?

GentlePurpleRain

Wouldn't that be "reacquisitions?

ASCII-only

@Pavel you mean lens

Also yeah we really need a standard dictionary

GentlePurpleRain

Preferably one with an API or downloadable word list, if we're going to make a bot that checks words...

ASCII-only

But... IMO that should be something the bot handles. Otherwise it's too easy to cheat

@GentlePurpleRain yeah. Of course it will be one that's downloadable

Plenty of those out there

On the other hand, we like obscure words that don't always pop up in dictionaries

ness makes this pretty easy.

GentlePurpleRain

nine-hundred-ninety-nine-thousand-nine-hundred-ninety-nine

@PostLeftGarfHunter after looking up what this even means, can you really append a ness?

Pavel

ninehundred-ninetynine-trilllion-ninehundred-billion...

Post Left Garf Hunter

7:18 PM

You can add ness to any word to make a new word.

quartata

nicotine was one of the ones i had in mind btw

ASCII-only

Are hyphens allowed everywhere in numbers

Post Left Garf Hunter

ness is a functor on the category of words

GentlePurpleRain

@ASCII-only No. Hence the un-boldness.

flawr

whatever that means

Cows quack

7:19 PM

(?!ness)

ASCII-only

@PostLeftGarfHunter not all words...

Pavel

@Cowsquack No lookaheads

Which is a lame rule imo

Post Left Garf Hunter

@flawr tbh I'm not sure if it is a word. But it seems like it would be

7:20 PM

@GentlePurpleRain hopelessnessness?

Can I add "ness" to that word to make a new word? :P

Post Left Garf Hunter

you have three ss on the last ness

hopelessnessnessness

... hopeless

ok WW go

7:21 PM

@PostLeftGarfHunter both un- and -ness exist, so I'm guessing both is valid too

flawr

(can I use german words? would make things a little bit easier for me)

unsanctimonious is def a word

@GentlePurpleRain WordPress?

@flawr no pls

no its a word i checked

Baro Ki'teer + ness = baroness clearly

@PostLeftGarfHunter This should have two Rs: uninterruptableness (19)

No pls

Suffers from the same problem as German does

GentlePurpleRain

Who's up for giving the next rule?

quartata

smaller stuff is ok

Pavel

7:24 PM

Except so much worse

Post Left Garf Hunter

I'm not entirely sure german is not just chemicals

@GentlePurpleRain I can

oh hey GPR actually added this to the meta post

ASCII-only

How did you get three words

Without cheating

Post Left Garf Hunter

Anyone that want's can go.

@ASCII-only Well I started with 1, that's how I made the regex.

ASCII-only

@PostLeftGarfHunter how did one person get three when everyone else got 0 in total though

Post Left Garf Hunter

I think I had a better understanding of the regex? idk I thought it was easier than it was

@flawr it's an anti-caracara regex

I was going to start adding suffices to 'reference'

0 '

I don't think lookaheads or lookbehinds are allowed

Nope

7:45 PM

Isn't -ness a functor on the category of English words?

GentlePurpleRain

semi-serendipitousness (21)

Post Left Garf Hunter

that only matches if you remove the hyphen

GentlePurpleRain

Oh, I assumed hyphens were ignored.

ASCII-only

@0 ' well if we're being serious here it's only adjectives, some of which have irregular forms. "Able" being over of them

Post Left Garf Hunter

I don't actually know

GentlePurpleRain

7:46 PM

I think the best bet here is a four-letter prefix like "semi" or "anti".

ASCII-only

Well last five hyphens weren't ignited, IIRC

Post Left Garf Hunter

@ASCII-only If its on edjectievs then its not an endofunctor just a functor

ASCII-only

Well last five hyphens weren't ignored, IIRC

GentlePurpleRain

Were the last five hyphens ignored? :P

quartata

ive got a rule to suggest if anyone needs inspiration before i go

(this seems like a fun game, by the way! might lead to some stretching of what counts as a word though)

ASCII-only

7:50 PM

@quartata what is this, Pokemon?

GentlePurpleRain

There has already been some discussion about picking a standard dictionary to use.

quartata

this is basically Deusovi's Contact Clues: The Game so id imagine youll enjoy it

Deusovi

pretty sure antiantitoxins (14) works for the current(?) one

Post Left Garf Hunter

yeah looks like it

Deusovi

I remember reading that a while ago (singular) and I think it can be pluralized?

GentlePurpleRain

7:50 PM

I think a "$" is implied at the end...

ASCII-only

> An [spoiler but too late to redact] that inhibits or counteracts the effects of an antitoxin.

O_o it's an actual thing

quartata

oh yes apologizes

it is assumed to be anchored

Post Left Garf Hunter

@Deusovi Works for flawr's clue though

Deusovi

ah that was the one I was referring to

quartata

oh oops

Deusovi

7:52 PM

thought the rule was "winner suggests next one", so (.*)\1 wasn't technically the "current" clue

quartata

yeah no i was just throwing it out there as a joke since it matches caracara

GentlePurpleRain

It looks like ManyPinkHats owes the next clue.

ASCII-only

@quartata ^(.*a){4}$

Post Left Garf Hunter

@ASCII-only ^caracara$

Cows quack

interestingly they're both at the same bytecount

ASCII-only

7:55 PM

An expected remark from a code golfer

Post Left Garf Hunter

^(c(a)r\1)\2$

Anyway, it's time for @ManyPinkHats to make a regex right

Cows quack

you mixed the 1 and 2

ManyPinkHats

oh, one second

Deusovi

hm?

I got 14, no?

or was that timed out

GentlePurpleRain

7:57 PM

I think the time limit was well past by the time you posted antiantitoxins.

Post Left Garf Hunter

@Deusovi Was it times up>

Deusovi

fair enough

didn't know if there was a time limit

ah there it is, yep

GentlePurpleRain

5 minutes, plus one for each (longer) answer posted.

ManyPinkHats

^.+(.)(.)(.)(.)\4?\3\2\1.+$

hopefully that's wellformed

intent is words that contain a palindrome of at least seven letters strictly inside

Deusovi

(that means a subpalindrome of at least 7 letters, correct?)
