I don't think most Dutch people wouldn't either (I was reluctant to do it), but I guess in practice, it's really not that big of a deal. There weren't any explicit rules about it, and it's a valid word that's listed in the dictionary. And in the end, I'm sure it's one of the most-viewed episodes they've had so far. Here's the most legendary word ever spelled at this game, which can be understood even by people who speak English: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7qxpAUKy4c https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7qxpAUKy4c Given the examples you showed at Countdown, I'd expect it to be perfectly possible on a UK game show as well?
