Non-word of the day: BALLABLE

OK, yesterday's MUCOUSLY pangram is not a word. I did not realize that MUCUS (pronounced same as 'mucous') is the noun, and MUCOUS is a derived adjective. Some related words are MUCOID and MUCULENT. For some reason there are no adverb forms listed - even though a similarly constructed LUCULENT (lucid) seems to allow LUCULENTLY. And SUCCULENTLY...

Yesterday's pangram, FOOTBACK, is archaic, and has been removed. Could be worse, and it's kind of a cool word -- I guess a play on HORSEBACK?

Small puzzles like today's (66) are surprisingly hard. There are very few words, and each one counts. Perhaps I should raise the minimum closer to 100...

Confounded by BOOBIES... Technically it is an -S pluralization of BOOBY and is disallowed, but I want it so badly to be in!

@stack What is the top ten sort order based on when multiple people have the same word count? Sorted by actual score?

Broad categories of words to eliminate... I am always struggling with the tradeoff of balancing the dictionary: too many words and games become too large to be fun; too few and I get annoyed at 'such obvious' words missing... Currently close to optimal, I think. But I keep thinking of removing entire categories such as: - each word that ends in -MAN has a potential -WOMAN and -PERSON version; - birds - there are so darn many! - plants -- likewise. So many obscure grasses...And I found...
