Today's word, being "The ZoneBBS," is missing the anagrams "sent," "snot" (I know it's a word 'cause it let me do it the other day), "stone," and "stones" so far as I have discovered. Stwange...

Ya the anagram program doesn't recognize lots of words it's very unfair heheh...

Yes I have long suspected that the fools who set it up do not use the Oxford English dictionary, which is internationally recognised as being the dictionary that is the most comprehensive. why isn't Owzat ever acceptable, for instance? why not estoppel? Why not wimble? why not disponee?

Or mortgagor? That isn't in there either, you know. Nor is exeat, alumnus, popery.

yeah, I figured out a lot of them, I can't remember if it was the zonebbs, but I tried "let" or something with another anagram, and it didn't work. but the letters L, E, T, were all in there.

or holpen, as in the old English for helped: for example, "He hath put down the mighty from their seat, he hath fill'd the hungry with good things. And the rich, he hath sent empty, empty away in remembering his mercy hath holpen his servant Israel etc.
