día de los muertos update

[brookehusic]

hi everyone,

thanks again for your interest in spread the word(list) and welcome to our november update!

as a reminder, we highly recommend you keep your personal edits in a separate .dict or .txt file, so you can update your spreadthewordlist file every month without losing your personal changes.

a couple of notes!

1. new words: our wordlist now has 257,605 answers with 88,795 scored 50 or higher! this is a *huge* increase in the full list (more than 50,000) and an increase of nearly 5,000 words at the 50+ level. some of our fave new answers are DND, DEVS, OHCOOL, SLAYED, WEREDONE, HERETOSTAY, FAMILYSTYLE, SWIZZLESTICKS, and DONTSTARTWITHME.

2. cleanup: we are hearing you that the presence of thematic answers and misspellings is disruptive to your construction processes. we're working hard on automating ways to detect these things, and in this update we've demoted more thematic answers and misspellings (goodbye BANNEDBAND, SIXOCLOCKSHADOW, SPACESHUTLE, etc!)

as always, please email us with any published puzzles you've used our wordlist for so we can list them in our gallery!

happy filling, and see you next month!
