So FARSIDE is mentioned in the premium version? It's not on the free Lexico. Also did they mention FARSIDES? Valid on Apterous.
Also when geezer got GHETTOS, he could have had GHETTOES. Susie didn't really make this clear. She just said it was valid with and without the E. Not that there was an extra E in the selection that he could have added.

NOUN
(usually the far side)
1
The furthest side of something:
we hired bikes to explore the far side of the island
1.1
(also farside)
The side of the moon not visible from earth:
thus far, no mission—crewed or otherwise—has landed on the lunar farside
Often contrasted with nearside.
Listed as a noun, so S should be good

‘Usually’ is the key word here. FARSIDES and NEARSIDES are valid as the dictionary says they would usually come after ‘the’. In comparison to INTERNET: the definition does not contain ‘usually’ next to the internet so internets x is not valid.
Ray Wilding spotted CREMAINS, an American term which only appears in Premium.
