Blossom 17/12

[Countrylover]

I've just realised plurals  are allowed.  Wish I'd found out earlier.  That's cheating though surely. 

[perseverer]

Blossom, it was my idea of a clever hint, but the years have not been kind to me.

[Karamia]

I think you have found the 11 letter word that I found Ellie. It did have 2 y and I made it plural . 

Started with yes

[perseverer]

I was trying to be too clever. Meantime I have discovered that the 12 words you enter are then missed out of the all words list.

Yes, that's the one Karamia and perseverer I got your hint, at last!
