| said by Nikita :transit -> snitter I hesitated on this, until I found that Snitter is a village and civil parish in Northumberland, England
If I thought the response was based only on the name of a Twitter client for Mac/Win, I'd say foul.
I'll leave it up to KCrimson, but IMHO the responses should be able to be identified in at least one online dictionary. That's why I cite M-W so often. |

1 edit | As I said in a PM (I'm paraphrasing so that I can fit in a response  ) - let the inertia of the game carry itself, and have fun. We've been lax in the rules before, but we try to limit the words to REAL words, although I've seen and used geographic names, product names (I replied to "ROLAIDS" the other night!) and we've even had some Spanish words thrown in back in the 5-letter days. I'm not the "game keeper" - we all are, and I think the consensus is to "just have fun". 
In case you didn't catch it - my 7 letter word response is in bold letters. |
