The OED likes ronin, as well as clit; the obscure adjective clit, though, not the noun. Of course basing the game on the OED would add middle-english spellings to the mix. Not necessarily fun.

Oh that's great, yeah, everyone bust out your dictionaries, cause it's really an awesome test of how well you can do if you're paging through a dictionary looking for answers.

Way to go.

meh, a DFS against every word in a decent word list should do fine. Maybe even have the script post to the website for you, I mean then you don't even have to play to win.

There should be two player categories:

1) Jobbers who cheat, lie, and steal.
2) Me.
