  • mollusque I used the F5 trick that bilby suggested (see bugs). Oct 30, 2009

  • yarb Marvellous, moll. But how do you know with the front page all stopped up? Oct 29, 2009

  • mollusque Yarb, another monosyllable is tops at the moment--grace. Oct 29, 2009

  • yarb Yes - we've had a new word on average every 79 (just under) hours. Five of the 111 were monosyllabic (moist, love, git, fish and yock). A lot of these words I added with a bitter taste in my mouth - there are a lot of very ho-hum words on this list - but there were a few delights: cernuous, dino-fuzz, clamberskull, hobbitry, doomstool, muffineer, naufragous, yock, frown of approval and the unforgettable bristol stool scale. Jun 10, 2009

  • mollusque Eleventy-one words, yarb--a good haul for one year. Jun 10, 2009

  • yarb Thanks for maintaining this while I've been away, mollusque. Back next week. Mar 17, 2009

  • yarb So it is! Ta, pleth'ra. Dec 4, 2008

  • plethora cephalopodcast is up there at the moment. Dec 4, 2008

  • yarb Isn't it marvelous! Only the third monosyllabic word to make it to the top (and the other two were the ghastly moist and git). Nov 26, 2008

  • bilby Fish! Nov 26, 2008

  • mollusque Thanks, yarb! Sep 27, 2008

  • yarb Mollusque, this list would be a failure without you - so I've added you as a contributor. Sep 27, 2008

  • mollusque Yarb, diaphanous was on top for a while yesterday. Sep 27, 2008

  • mollusque Topophilia and muffineer both peaked today. Sep 5, 2008

  • yarb Hat-tip. Jul 17, 2008

  • whichbe It's getting all miasma up in here. Jul 17, 2008

  • bilby Magnanimous is back. Should it be listed again? Jul 15, 2008

  • chained_bear Yeah, that sounds neat! I was going to suggest features but you already did... see you over there. Jul 14, 2008

  • plethora That would be useful, pter. Jul 14, 2008

  • pterodactyl You know, when I first joined Wordie, I thought that "Most Wordied" meant "Most Commented On". Now I know that it doesn't, I find myself wishing that there were a "Most Commented On" list for the last 7 days. It'd be nice to be able to see at a glance which words are getting all the action this week.

    Anyone else feel the same way? If so, I'll nip on over to features and submit it for John's consideration. Jul 14, 2008

  • yarb Thanks mollusque - I've been hors d'internet for the last week except for a snatched hour on Weds, back now though. Jul 12, 2008

  • mollusque Yarb, guess what just tappened. Jul 11, 2008

  • yarb And thank you for the interlude, prolagus. Jun 25, 2008

  • yarb Thank you so much! I would have missed that one. Jun 25, 2008

  • Prolagus (On the rhythm of Ain't no sunshine)

    Honeysuckle's at the top,
    And I'm stuck in th'oubliette.
    Now crepuscular's above all,
    the doll's head inside a bowl
    Will not be crème de la crème. Jun 25, 2008

  • mollusque Honeysuckle's at the top. Jun 25, 2008

  • Prolagus Moreover, yarb, if you add the SECOND word you MAKE it a word worth adding! Jun 18, 2008

  • yarb Excellent, thanks mollusque - I almost forgot it... Jun 18, 2008

  • mollusque Oubliette was top of the list briefly today. Jun 18, 2008

  • yarb Thank you chaps. Jun 11, 2008

  • bilby Bristol stool scale. Jun 11, 2008

  • mollusque Confelicity was top of the most wordied list for about a week ending about two weeks ago. At one point it had 9 listings in one week, the highest I recall seeing for any word. I don't remember what topped the list after that. John could probably reconstruct it. Jun 11, 2008

  • yarb whichbe - I think a simple "thumbs up / thumbs down" vote and stat for each word is a great idea! Jun 11, 2008

  • yarb If you give me the approximate date, mollusque - but I want it to be a continuous list, so I'll also need any words between confelicity and blattteroon. Jun 11, 2008

  • mollusque Could you backdate it a bit and start with confelicity? Jun 11, 2008

  • whichbe Ahaha, it's also another angle/method of looking at "word popularity" besides The Big List.
    Alas there aren't any 'anti-words' wherein users could 'vote down' words they didn't like. Jun 10, 2008

  • reesetee I know. It's positively evil. Deliciously so. *mwaahahahaha* Jun 10, 2008

  • yarb What I particularly like about this list is its reflexiveness. By adding a word to this list, I may prolong that word's stay at the top of the "most wordied, last 7 days" list, thereby denying another word the chance to top that list. Jun 10, 2008

  • reesetee Hey, good idea! Jun 10, 2008
