In my trusty print ODE bigamy is a mass noun, with derivatives bigamist (noun) and bigamous (adjective). No argument there. But there is also an entry for trigamous with derivatives trigamist (noun) and trigamy (noun). No mention of mass noun. So TRIGAMIES is OK. You are the ref . .

I don't think it would have been an easy decision if it it had come up in a programme where BIGAMIES had been disallowed. As with most of these, no criticism of the Countdown team. It's the dictionary that's the problem.

Yes, I noticed this! I thought the font looked very similar to the one used when Countdown first transitioned over to the Digital Conundrum format five years ago!
