I'm not good at word games, i've found two words that are at least five letters but neither of them are in the dictionary :( "felted" and "tagalog". "tagalog" is a proper noun, but you might want to add "felted" to the dictionary

@lab6 yeah sorry about the scoreboard getting messed up. I had done a 'git pull' onto the server and for some reason it reverted the day's data file, sorry :(
showing the previous day's longest word is a great idea - will do that in the next (more careful) update
I found it surprisingly difficult for some reason.

@stack I definitely found that it took me a few minutes to switch my brain between spellbinding and gobble, not sure why!
Anyway i also wanted to say, thanks for your advice and thoughts about the game-running process. Just added a list of around 50 words(!) to a copy of the dictionary, will swap it out shortly before the game resets at midnight ET

@Half_Elf_Monk not yet but I've made a note to add it in the next batch, thanks!
