Susie wasn't sure whether FAILOVERS is a word. It seems to me that it ought to be. But what would have happened if a contestant had tried the word and Susie couldn't make up her mind about it?

Well, the dictionary entry says "mass noun", so it would've been disallowed.Stewart Gordon wrote:Susie wasn't sure whether FAILOVERS is a word. It seems to me that it ought to be. But what would have happened if a contestant had tried the word and Susie couldn't make up her mind about it?

And the max should come with an asterisk as STUMPAGE is actually invalid as James pointed out in the spoilers thread.
