Spoilers for Friday 13th August 2021 (Series 84, Prelim 34)

Post by Philip A »

Minor error from Susie though not affecting the game: she said that OUTROAR is not verb, which is incorrect. It can be both a noun and a verb; the verbal sense can be found by scrolling down:

There are 2 main definitions of outroar in English:outroar1 outroar2
outroar 1
Pronunciation: /ˈaʊtrɔː/
NOUN

A loud noise or cry; an uproar.
Origin

Mid 19th century; earliest use found in The Dublin Review. From out- + roar
cite

There are 2 main definitions of outroar in English:outroar1 outroar2
outroar 2
Pronunciation: /ˌaʊtˈrɔː/
VERB

To roar louder than or more than; to drown the roaring of.
Origin

Early 17th century; earliest use found in William Shakespeare (1564–1616), playwright and poet. From out- + roar

She should be reminded to scroll down in each entry otherwise she may erroneously disallow valid words words like OUTROARED. Also would be good if she didn’t say something like, “I think that will be fine, oh actually no,” and vice versa. She should see the whole entry in full first.
