my favourite hangman word is tmesis.
i'm yet to lose a game with it.
it works well psychologically: people very quickly get to t_esis (e and t being the most common letters) but m takes too long: although m is common, tmesis is the only word in the english language that starts like this.
- btilly 16y agoIt helps a lot that most people don't know that word.
- robryan 16y agoYeah I knew the concept but didn't know this word to describe it, good to find out these little things.
- dododo 16y agoi find often even if you don't know the word, you know something about, for example, the phoneme structure of words, which allows you to guess. it's not just it's not known, but also it has an uncommon composition. for example, you may not know what the solution to abapi_al is exactly, but reasoning phoenetically should get it quickly.
