Best word for Hangman?

[Edrondol]

I was recently asked what the best word would be if you were playing Hangman. My response was syzygy. Gets them every time.

Got any more for me?

Well, the chemical name of 'Tintin' is a very hard word to spell

Thats a terrible word to use... its 189K characters. It literally has every letter... You can't ever get it wrong.

Yeah, okay, that's true

Quiz is a pretty hard word though.

It's also been widely acknowledged that it was basically made up to be a big word for something that was already named. Not that it's not a good word, but as you pointed out the size of the word doesn't necessarily make it a good Hangman word.

Myrrh and Frankincense.... bit late in the season, but I will give this if you want.

I've heard about lynx being a good word before, so how about taking it a step further with larynx? lol

PNEUMONO­ULTRA­MICRO­SCOPIC­SILICO­VOLCA - 15 unique latters
