Just saw this, and it was a truly magnificent game, to round off a brilliant coc.
Thanks to all who were involved, congrats to Ahmad, and commiserations to James.

I'm only now catching up after a hectic few days, but I have to say that this was one of the best games I've seen.
Congratulations to Adam, commiserations to Tom.
2 brilliant players!

The word is diffusion rather than defusion, even though defuse is also a word. http://tcsquared.azurewebsites.net/cohost

Thanks, you're right. I saw that defuse was valid, and assumed there was defusion, but no....

Not valid (on Apterous anyway)! Remember to try words in this.

Thanks for that. I shall refer to it in the future

r7 alt: CONKIEST Howie, I think you still have the wrong dictionary. Alternatively, if you don’t have ODP, you can subscribe to Apterous (highly recommended BTW) and look up the word in Lexplorer in the top right of the page, which is extremely accurate.

DEVOUTER not specified as a comparative in the OED, and since DEVOUT doesn't come under the one syllable rule I don't think it counts
