Answers to Questions

What is the longest word game ?

The longest word is a part of the Countdown TV program, whose purpose is to find the longest word by using only some selected letters (e.g. to rearrange letters in order to make a word from letters).

There are many letter games whose purpose is to make a word from letters (Scrabble, Wordox, Words with Friends, etc.). Most are similar to the longest word game, for example if the goal is to use all letters, it is an anagram.

In the original rules, a word list (dictionary reference) tells which word is an accepted solution or not (no proper noun). The program here is not limited and allows all kind of words, including conjugated verbs and sometimes some proper nouns.

What are the variants of the longest word game?

In its original version, the player has to try to make an anagram of the letters, or remove some of them to get the longest/biggest word possible.

Example:ABCDEFGHIJ gives JIGHEAD (7 letters)

There are variants where letters can be used multiple times (repeating letters).

Example:ABCDEFGHIJ gives CHIFFCHAFF (10 letters)

It is also possible to search a word without scrambling the letters

Example:ABCDEFGHIJ gives A_C____HI_ (ACHI) (4 letters)

Variant forms[edit]

The form of the word quoted here is in fact the one listed in LSJ (1940) and quoted therein as having been amended by August Meineke;^[2] in contrast to this, F.W. Hall and W.M. Geldart's 1907 edition of Aristophanis Comoediae (used in the Assemblywomen play) reads (differences in bold):
λοπαδο­τεμαχο­σελαχο­γαλεο­κρανιο­λειψανο­δριμ­υποτριμματο­σιλφιο­τυρο­μελιτο­κατακεχυμενο­κιχλεπικοσσυφο­φαττο­περιστερ­αλεκτρυον­οπτεκεφαλλιο­κιγκλο­πελειο­λαγῳο­σιραιο­βαφη­τραγανο­πτερυγών.^[4]

Description[edit]

The dish was a fricassée, with at least 16 sweet and sour ingredients, including the following:^[3]

• fish slices
• fish of the elasmobranchii subclass (a shark or ray)
• rotted dogfish or small shark's head
• generally sharp-tasting dish of several ingredients grated and pounded together
• silphion 'laserwort', apparently a kind of giant fennel
• a kind of crab, shrimp, or crayfish
• honey poured down
• wrasse (or thrush)
• a kind of sea fish or blackbird as topping
• roasted head of dabchick
• hare, which could be a kind of bird or a kind of sea hare
• wing and/or fin

Context[edit]

The term is used in the ultimate chorus of the play when Blepyrus (and the audience) are summoned to the first feast laid on by the new system.

[1167] And you others, let your light steps too keep time.
[1168] Very soon we'll be eating
[1170] lopado­temacho­selacho­galeo­kranio­leipsano­drim­ypo­trimmato­silphio­karabo­melito­katakechy­meno­kichl­epi­kossypho­phatto­perister­alektryon­opte­kephalio­kigklo­peleio­lagoio­siraio­baphe­tragano­pterygon. [sic]
[1175] Come, quickly, seize hold of a plate, snatch up a cup, and let's run to secure a place at table. The rest will have their jaws at work by this time.

English translations[edit]

In English prose translation by Leo Strauss (1966), this Greek word is rendered as 'oysters-saltfish-skate-sharks'-heads-left-over-vinegar-dressing-laserpitium-leek-with-honey-sauce-thrush-blackbird-pigeon-dove-roast-cock's-brains-wagtail-cushat-hare-stewed-in-new-wine-gristle-of-veal-pullet's-wings'.^[5]

English verse translation by Benjamin Bickley Rogers (1902) follows the original meter and the original way of composition:

Plattero-filleto-mulleto-turboto-
-Cranio-morselo-pickleo-acido-
-Silphio-honeyo-pouredonthe-topothe-
-Ouzelo-throstleo-cushato-culvero-
-Cutleto-roastingo-marowo-dippero-
-Leveret-syrupu-gibleto-wings.^[6]

Older English verse translation by Rev. Rowland Smith (1833) breaks the original word into several verses:

Limpets, oysters, salt fish,
And a skate too a dish,
Lampreys, with the remains
Of sharp sauce and birds' brains,
With honey so luscious,
Plump blackbirds and thrushes,
Cocks' combs and ring doves,
Which each epicure loves,
Also wood-pigeons blue,
With juicy snipes too,
And to close all, O rare!
The wings of jugged hare!^[7]
