Round 6: thought of WIGMAKER*... but it's not there
Not even anywhere near in OED. So what would a wig maker be called in OED?

Round 2: Star Trek fans may remember Katherine Pulaski - the medical doctor from the second series of ST:The Next Generation. Guess what? PULASKI is actually listed in OED3 - chiefly in the US a hatchet with the head part axe and part adze! Better unlearn it quick - not allowed in Scrabble! Unfortua...
