    OK, I'll give you another clue ...
    The word is German in its origin - made up of two German words: One meaning 'damage' or 'harm', the other meaning 'joy'.

    Yes, that's the word I'm looking for. It is used in English vocabulary, perhaps rarely, but it's usage is accepted in Scrabble for instance! Most of the words we use in everyday speech are derived from 'foreign' sources anyway, aren't they?

    12 letters---starts f ends e means illustration.

    Totally stumped on this one. I actually had to dig out my trusty old-faithful, dog-eared, tattered Crossword Lists/Solver ... Thick and heavy, its contents boast "over 200,000 for the crossword fan". On the page for the 13-lettered 'F' words ending in 'e', it lists only 3 words:

    FERROCONCRETE - reinforced concrete

    FOREKNOWLEDGE - Knowledge or awareness of something before its existence or occurrence; prescience.

    FREQUENTATIVE - Expressing or designating repeated action

    Illustration doesn't fit with any of these. What can it be?

    Feather - did you use your fingers AND thumbs this time? sidestep

    EDIT: OOOPS!!!!! I've just noticed ... it's 12 letters I should be looking for, not 13. Embarassed albino

    Nope. geek Unless it is fictionalize. Is it?


    I did come across a really cute word that I've not heard of before though.
    Flittermouse drunken
    I like it. Smile I think I'm going to make that my word of the week.
    My Lists Book doesn't given the meanings of the words, so I had to look it up.

    A flittermouse is a bat. Called also flickermouse, flindermouse, and flintymouse.

    Well, exactly! That's why I said I hadn't got it yet ... "fictionalize" (with the American spelling) was the only word listed there that comes anywhere near "an illustration" ... and of course it would not be correct. It's still got me well and truly stumped. Someone better come up with summat soon. giggle

    Don't know about anyone else, but I find that "First topic message reminder" at the top of each game page confusing and keep thinking I'm still on page 1.

    Glad you pointed that out, Stardust. I was finding the same problem myself .. but thought it was just me.
    I actually have it set for the first post reminder at top of each page - automatically for every thread, not just the games. (Thought it might be a help but in fact it is more of a hindrance). I'll have another look at it later this evening.
