ANYMORE would also count.

Eagle-eyed viewers may have noticed that the "INCORRECT" reveal displayed a more compressed typeface and a smoother frame rate!

In my trusty print ODE bigamy is a mass noun, with derivatives bigamist (noun) and bigamous (adjective). No argument there. But there is also an entry for trigamous with derivatives trigamist (noun) and trigamy (noun). No mention of mass noun. So TRIGAMIES is OK. You are the ref . .

Valid on Apterous.

yep in ODP none of the derivative nouns are flagged as mass, so you'd have to assume Susie would allow the plurals, hence the beloved SENSELESSNESSES of the unlimited variant players!

I don't think it would have been an easy decision if it it had come up in a programme where BIGAMIES had been disallowed. As with most of these, no criticism of the Countdown team. It's the dictionary that's the problem.

Would have been amusing if they'd come up in the same round!

Yes, I noticed this! I thought the font looked very similar to the one used when Countdown first transitioned over to the Digital Conundrum format five years ago!
