  2. Really surprised that "opera" lies between vert and vertus. Must be some Italian spelling?

    1. not sure what happened to you, but opera was my word, and vert/vertus brackets mike's word.

      speaking of mike's word, i am not really sure it makes much sense to choose vertiginous instead of just vertigo. but i suppose i know the word so i should have tried it (i gave up at vertical/vertigo).

  3. My bad, writing up the results. I had two wordlists on the screen and I glanced at the wrong one. Vert/vertus are the first and last words with the same four letters. The 31 words surrounding opera range from openhandedness to operate. I didn't screw up the other stats I reported.
