REMUAGE in Round 2. Apparently, the hyphen was added to ‘pre-game’ and ‘post-game’ in the dictionary after recording, so ‘pregame’ wouldn’t count now.

[Gavin Chipper]

So you could have had it pregame but not post-game.

No, but because it's not in the dictionary

I'm not at all convinced that's the reason. A word not being in a particular dictionary may be a barrier to giving the word as one that was available, but frequently it isn't a barrier to doing the thing denoted by the word. As you may have noticed, DC were just not consulted at all for that round, hence my point.

Well they can’t check or say absolutely everything. There’s just not enough time. They can only act on the spot.
