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.
everything has meaning - existence has meaning - being alive has meaning - have dreams - use power

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.
