Not picking on you or anything, Sierraben, but we need to do something here or we'll soon end up with words like "ufjeklsi" (which is not a word I could find in a dictionary, either).

Do we go back to the last legitimate word?
Some of the ugliest arguments I ever had wtih my wife or kids was over words generated while playing Scrabble. We finally bought a Scrabble dictionary and eliminated the fights.

If it is a questionable word, should the poster use it in a sentence?
I don't want to be a pita, but this is a fun game for me and I'd like to see it kept going. If the words get ridiculous, people will quit. Some words, by necessity will be a stretch. For example, the only thing I can think to do with "springless" is to remove the n making it "sprigless"; as in "without any sprigs (which are small shoots of grass).
That is not my "final offical next word answer" yet, BTW. I am still thinking about it

edit to Alchymist: if we hit a dead-end, is there anything wrong with using the same word twice to head us back to a direction that can be followed further? i.e. back up and take a right turn instead of the left turn that got us where we are.
