So during school the other day, some friends and I were having a conversation about hangman. We were all trying to come up with the most tricky words as possible. So, I was wondering, which words would you use to stump your opponents?
My favs are:
syzygy (pronounced siz-a-gee)
lynx
fjord
and loquacious
Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia- Fear of long words
try that one
Ha, that one’s hilarious, if only I can remember how to spell it
onyx or onix depending on what letters they guess. that’s what my woodshop teacher would always do.
Yeah, ones with U or Y acting as vowels are some of the best
Antidisistablishmentarianism.
That’s mean. You should write down the word in advance.
Or fear of tiny hippopotamus-like monsters?
Hippopoto - Hippo-like
monstro - monstrous
sesqui - 1½
pedal - foot
phobia - fear
Just for the record, that is one of the best words ever. I think it’s my second favorite word ever.
sorry but its got to be this: that is of course if you ever find out how to pronounce it…
