I saw FOULEST as well but jargons isn't on Apterous. Maybe a mass noun but possibly someone with Premium access can adjudicate.

I can now! Two definitions for Jargon but both are mass nouns.Gavin Chipper wrote: ↑Sat Mar 02, 2024 7:39 am I saw FOULEST as well but jargons isn't on Apterous. Maybe a mass noun but possibly someone with Premium access can adjudicate.
Actually came here to check that the comparative and superlative rule still applies to one-syllable adjectives which are not specified, eg Campest in one of the later rounds. I assume as you mention Foulest, then it is ok too.

It's not really a Countdown rule, even though Susie often suggests that it is. It's specified in the dictionary. It's no different to allowing you to pluralise a count noun by adding an S unless it specifies otherwise.Philip Wilson wrote: ↑Mon Mar 25, 2024 10:19 pmI can now!
