Words I've made up, but turned out to be real!

In the course of playing scrabble online you end up trying out a lot of different words that you're not sure are real or not. Unlike real scrabble do you can't/don't get penalized for putting a bad word on the board. So I've come up with some doozies at times to try to gain a triple word score or double letter score. Here are some of them!



hafter - A caviler; a wrangler.
ki - the circulating life energy that in Chinese philosophy is thought to be inherent in all things; in traditional Chinese medicine the balance of negative and positive forms in the body is believed to be essential for good health
nide - a nest or brood of pheasants.
qi - a variant of chi (The 22nd letter of the Greek alphabet)
xis - 1. The 14th letter of the Greek alphabet. 2. See xi baryon.
azine - A six-membered heterocyclic compound, such as pyridine, that contains one or more atoms of nitrogen with a ring structure resembling that of benzene.
guar - An annual plant (Cyamopsis tetragonolobus) probably native to India, adapted to semiarid regions and grown as a forage crop and for its seeds, from which guar gum is obtained. Also called cluster bean.


More to come!
