Spoilers for Monday 30th October 2023 (Series 88, Heat 87)

Post by Johnny Canuck »

I've marked MARLIER^ as no good (someone please verify in premium), although I believe it should be brought in. Reggae is the marliest music genre, marlier than any other.
I'm not dead yet. In a rut right now because of stress from work. I'll be back later in S89. I also plan to bring back the Mastergram - if I can find a way to run a timer or clock through pure MediaWiki without having to upload to Vimeo every time.

It directs to ‘marly’ but no -ier/-iest forms.

Unless Premium has them, I'm kind of surprised that Susie came forward with it given how much they harp on the rule that only monosyllabic adjectives get -er/-est by default

I have noticed in recent series that Susie sometimes suggests words that are invalid (wilcos x, cheerios x, paralyze x, ozones x and now marlier x) without checking the dictionary in the same way as she would when a contestant offers the word.
