I tried ROOFINGS as well and to my surprise, it’s not in the Apterous dictionary due to ROOFING being a mass noun; it’s clearly uncountable, because the definitions don’t begin with the indefinite article ‘a’.Howie Myers wrote: ↑Sat Nov 11, 2023 8:05 am r5 alt: UNLEASH

Some years ago, Countdown used to give leeway for mass nouns which are actions, but not any more. They don’t accept STEALINGS for similar reasons.
